It is important to ensure all lifesaving equipment is maintained. Your SLSC should have a regular preventive maintenance program to ensure all operational equipment is 24/7 rescue ready and meets WHS guidelines. At a minimum, you should service the following equipment annually:
- Defibrillators
- Patrol equipment (e.g., signage, tents, flags)
- Oxygen resuscitation equipment
- Powercraft
- Radios (handhelds + base sets)
- Side-by-side vehicles.
