(2) Reduces Employers' Legal Liability. Just because a Lifeguard possess a lifeguard certification, it does not mean that the individual is responsible, reliable or even a capable Lifeguard. Many individuals with a lifeguard certification card are indeed irresponsible, unreliable, and even incapable of lifeguarding well. These types of individuals, when entrusted with guarding your facility's swimming areas and patrons create a hazard and legal liability to your facility. Don't be fooled into thinking that a certification card means the cardholder will be a good, responsible or reliable employee.
Lifeguard-Pro lifeguards are the only lifeguards in the industry that must sign an "Oath of Responsibility" agreeing to conduct themselves in a professional and responsible manner at all times while on the job. Lifeguard-Pro informs it's cardholders that Lifeguard-Pro reserves the right to revoke any Lifeguard-Pro cardholder's certification for unprofessional, reckless or negligent conduct while serving as a lifeguard. If a lifeguard acts so as to create an unnecessary risk to an aquatic facility or hazard to patrons, the employer may report the unacceptable conduct to Lifeguard-Pro for review. Holding the lifeguards accountable for their conduct helps assure employers that their lifeguards will behave professionally and responsible.
An employer may easily report unacceptable lifeguard behavior to Lifeguard-Pro by visiting www.Lifeguard-Pro.org and selecting VERIFY CERTIFICATION. On that page, with a few simple keystrokes, the employer can report the actions of the lifeguard who is creating unnecessary risks or hazards.
Lifeguard-Pro Provides Better Risk Management
(3) Increases Quality of Safety Training. Lifeguard-Pro instructors utilize the most advanced teaching methods to GUARANTEE the highest quality academic experience for every student. The Student Manual intentionally does NOT include photos to prevent students from skimming the vital textbook content. The Student Exams require lifeguard candidates to respond to approximately 1-2 questions per page to prevent candidates from skimming only the important academic material. Lifeguard-Pro academic standards require candidates to complete all exam questions with a 90% or higher correct score BEFORE candidates are allowed to attend any in-person training. So, when a candidate attends in-person training, Lifeguard-Pro GUARANTEES that the candidate has actually READ and UNDERSTOOD all of the necessary information to properly safeguard patrons and minimize the liability to the employer.
The Lifeguard-Pro lifeguard certification course content and required physical skills include all the knowledge and skills included in the American Red Cross Lifeguard Training Course, and much, much more. As an employer, you can rest assured that your employee lifeguard has been exposed to the similiar knowledge and training of the American Red Cross Lifeguard Training Course and much more vital safety training.
For CPR & First Aid, Lifeguard-Pro only teaches the American Heart Association universally accepted CPR & First Aid certification courses. American Heart Association is the undisputed world leader in CPR & First Aid. Lifeguard-Pro maintains the highest standards in the entire lifeguard industry.
