When must safety checks be conducted?

Conducting safety checks is essential for maintaining a secure environment for all guests at a facility. Regular checks before opening ensure that everything is operational and that potential hazards are addressed before patrons arrive. During daily operations, ongoing safety checks are crucial as they help to identify and mitigate risks that may arise throughout the day, such as changing weather conditions or maintenance needs. Additionally, checks at closing ensure that the facility is secure and that safety protocols have been adhered to, minimizing risks for any individuals on the premises after operating hours. This comprehensive approach to safety checks, including pre-opening, ongoing, and closing assessments, helps to ensure that lifeguards and other staff are prepared to respond to emergencies and maintain a safe environment at all times.
