The standards of service provision for lifesaving or lifeguarding are covered by a service agreement. A lifesaving service agreement (LSA) is a surf lifesaving service’s patrol contract with their local government authority and sets out the service’s responsibilities and commitments for providing lifesaving services to the community.
A lifesaving service agreement for lifesaving services will cover:
- the patrol season
- times of the day services are provided
- patrol strength (minimum number of people)
- equipment to be available
- minimum qualifications held by members
- the location and extent of your service.
It is very important that your lifesaving service meets their obligations under this agreement at all times.
