Lifeguard Operations Manual

7.1. First Aid Room Equipment and Supplies

Some lifeguard services may as part of their facilities have a designated first aid room. First Aid Rooms shall be presented in a safe and clean condition at all times.

NOTE: Remember that the patient you are treating needs to feel that they are in a safe and comfortable environment. A clean, tidy and safe first aid room will help to achieve this.

The stock items listed below are the recommended requirements and it is the responsibility of each lifeguard to maintain adequate stocks for its requirements. These requirements may vary between sites. Please refer to your Local Operations Manual or ask your Lifeguard Supervisor for individual site requirements.
