    Site-specific training for lifeguards should include:

    • Facility policies and procedures

    • Emergency action plans

    • Rescues with facility-specific equipment

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Site-specific training for lifeguards should include facility policies and procedures, emergency action plans, and rescues with facility-specific equipment. This is because lifeguards need to be familiar with the specific rules and regulations of the facility they are working at, as well as the proper procedures to follow in case of emergencies. They also need to be trained on how to perform rescues using the equipment available at that specific facility. Therefore, all of the options mentioned are important components of site-specific training for lifeguards.

    • Announce to bystanders what you are going to do.

    • Begin to write your record of what happened.

    • Find out if you have a duty to act.

    • Obtain the victim’s consent.

    Correct Answer
    A. Obtain the victim’s consent.
    Explanation
    Before providing care for a conscious injured or ill victim, it is important to obtain the victim's consent. This ensures that the victim is aware of the care being provided and gives their permission for it. Obtaining consent is a crucial step in respecting the victim's autonomy and ensuring that they are comfortable with the care being provided. It also helps establish trust and rapport between the rescuer and the victim, creating a more positive and effective caregiving environment.

    • Bi-weekly

    • Monthly

    • Weekly

    Correct Answer
    A. Monthly
    Explanation
    Lifeguards should receive emergency response training specific to the venue on a monthly basis. This ensures that they are regularly updated and prepared to handle any emergency situation that may arise in their specific venue. Monthly training allows lifeguards to stay current with the specific protocols, procedures, and equipment that are unique to their venue, enabling them to respond effectively and efficiently in the event of an emergency. This regular training also helps to reinforce their skills and knowledge, ensuring that they are always prepared to provide the highest level of safety and care to patrons.

    • Relevant

    • Job specific

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    In service training should be mandatory, relevant, and job specific. Mandatory training ensures that all employees receive the necessary training to perform their job effectively and safely. Relevant training ensures that the training provided is applicable to the employees' job roles and responsibilities. Job specific training focuses on providing training that is tailored to the specific tasks and skills required for a particular job. Therefore, all of these factors should be considered when designing and implementing in service training programs.

    1. Good Samaritan laws are designed to protect most professional rescuers from—

    • The risk of legal action as a result of sharing information about the victim with bystanders and local media.

    • The risk of legal action as long as they act in good faith, within the scope of their training and are not negligent.

    • The need to legally document what was seen, heard and done at the scene.

    • The need to obtain consent before providing care.

    Correct Answer
    A. The risk of legal action as long as they act in good faith, within the scope of their training and are not negligent.
    Explanation
    Good Samaritan laws are designed to protect professional rescuers from the risk of legal action as long as they act in good faith, within the scope of their training, and are not negligent. These laws encourage individuals to provide assistance in emergency situations without fear of being sued for any unintentional harm caused during the rescue. By providing this protection, the laws aim to promote prompt and necessary aid to those in need without hesitation or concern for potential legal consequences.

    Which of the following should be included in the first section of a lifeguard manual?

    • Mission statement

    • Emergency action plan

    • Lateness policy

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Emergency action plan
    Explanation
    The first section of a lifeguard manual should include the emergency action plan. This is because the emergency action plan is crucial for lifeguards to know and understand in order to effectively respond to any emergencies or incidents that may occur while on duty. It outlines the necessary steps and procedures to follow in various emergency situations, such as drowning, spinal injuries, or cardiac arrest. Including the emergency action plan in the first section of the manual ensures that lifeguards have immediate access to this vital information and can quickly respond to emergencies to ensure the safety of swimmers.

    Explanation
    The pool/operator manager is responsible for verifying the competency of the hired lifeguards at the specific facility and at the depths that guards will be working. This is important to ensure that the lifeguards have the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively perform their duties and keep swimmers safe. Scheduling work hours commensurate with experience and providing guard uniforms are not mentioned as responsibilities in this context.
