(1)
			 Certified Operator. By January 1, 2009, all public swimming pools serving or
			 installed for the state or any political subdivision of the state, including a
			 school district, municipality, or recreation district with 2000 square feet
			 (185 m2) or more pool surface area in one or more pools must have at least one
			 currently Certified Pool Operator, on staff, as defined in OAR
			 333-060-0015(6).
			 This person must be in a position with management responsibility for the way
			 the pool is operated, including the authority to close the pool.
(2) Lifeguards. Lifeguards must be provided
			 at all general-use pools during all hours of operation. The number of
			 lifeguards is determined by the type of pool.
(a) One lifeguard for every 40 patrons in the
			 pool, or fraction thereof, shall be provided.
(b) Lifeguarding Plan. Any pool operator may
			 submit a lifeguarding plan as an alternative to compliance with section (2)(a)
			 of this rule. The 10/20 guest protection standard, or equivalent, provides a
			 method for evaluating and developing a lifeguard staffing plan providing rapid
			 emergency response.
(A) All general-use
			 specialty pools and water recreation attraction pools and limited-use pools
			 required to have lifeguards are required to submit a lifeguarding plan to the
			 Division or its agent for approval. Unless otherwise determined by the Division
			 or its agent, the number of lifeguards determined by the lifeguard plan shall
			 be provided, with the additional guards required in sections (2)(c) and (2)(d)
			 of this rule.
(B) A shallow water
			 lifeguard as defined by OAR 333-066-0015(31) may substitute for the required
			 lifeguard at pools less than four feet (1.2 m) deep and at wading pools. At no
			 time may they substitute for lifeguards at pools with water depths greater than
			 four feet.
(C) A lifeguard near the
			 exit to slides or waterslide flumes shall be provided. A lifeguard may guard
			 two slides or waterslide flumes, situated near each other so they are both
			 easily supervised.

			 attendant, responsible for enforcing slide usage rules at the entrance to
			 slides or waterslide flumes shall be provided. One attendant may supervise two
			 slides located near each other, on the same tower.
(E) Slides less than six feet high,
			 discharging six inches or less above the water, with open slide trays or flumes
			 so the landing area is easily visible, may be exempted by the Division from
			 some or all of the dedicated supervision requirements in sections (2)(C) and
			 (2)(D) of this rule.

(1) TRAINING. A qualified lifeguard must be
			 currently certificated in lifeguarding, first-aid and CPR as defined in OAR
			 333-060-0015(13),
			 as well as having regular in-service training and training as required by
			 333-060-0208(4)
 
			 and
			 333-060-0209.
(2) DUTIES. When on duty, a lifeguard shall
			 scan and supervise the pool with no other distracting activities such as
			 cleaning, water testing, or minimal unnecessary conversing with patrons.
(a) Rotation. Lifeguards must change duty
			 stations at least hourly. The intent of this requirement is to maintain
			 vigilance, if one guard is on duty a major shift in position or activity is
			 required and suggested much more frequently than hourly. (e.g. changing sides
			 of the pool, walking instead of sitting, etc.)
(b) Breaks. Lifeguards are to be allowed
			 breaks in accordance with Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industry standards. More
			 frequent breaks are recommended when the weather is very hot, extremely sunny,
			 or the patron loading is very high.
(c) Lifeguards may teach lessons or coach
			 swim teams during times when that is the only activity they are responsible for
			 supervising.
(d) Lifeguard
			 Orientation. New lifeguards must be provided an orientation to the pool which
			 should include guarding expectations, emergency procedures, communication
			 procedures, and other facility specific information needed to perform the
			 job.
(e) In-service. Lifeguards are
			 to be provided with in-service training arranged or conducted by the pool
			 operator at least annually to review and practice skills and
			 procedures.
(f) Performance
			 Evaluation. At the time of hire and at least once yearly, each lifeguard's on
			 deck, on duty performance must be evaluated. The certified pool supervisor,
			 responsible supervisor, or other designated management personnel may conduct
			 the evaluation, and provide documentation of the lifeguard's performance.
			 Performance evaluation deficiencies should be used to organize in-service
			 training.
Note:
Lifeguards who cannot demonstrate
				proficiency in their lifeguarding skills may be a danger to the bathers and to
				themselves. Serious deficiencies that are not immediately corrected may cause
				the serious injury or death of a bather, the lifeguard, or other staff
				member.

(1) Bloodborne Pathogens. The pool operator
			 must provide the training, equipment, medical services, and written procedures
			 and protocols needed to protect the pool staff against bloodborne pathogens.
			 Lifeguards would be expected to have the potential to come into accidental
			 contact with bodily fluids during their regular duties.

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) GENERAL. Public
			 wading pools require special consideration in their design, due to the small
			 water volume and shallow water depth, to protect the health, safety and welfare
			 of the users because of their age, needs and abilities.
(2) Although public wading pools may differ
			 very little in design from non-regulated fountains; public wading pools are
			 designed to allow and encourage human interactive water usage, while
			 non-regulated fountains are designed solely for visual appreciation.

			 The skimmer piping must be designed to handle 100 percent of the recirculation
			 rate.
(c) Spray pools, water
			 playgrounds and interactive fountains that do not pond water and that use
			 potable water once and dispose of it without recirculating it are not regulated
			 or licensed by the Division.

			 connection is not used for human consumption;
(b) Alternative water (that is, bottled
			 water, hauled water, or some other source) meeting State and Federal water
			 quality standards, as prescribed in OAR 333-061-0030  or  21CFR 165, is provided
			 by the supplier to the connection for drinking and cooking;
(c) Treated water meeting State standards, as
