Presented by David Peterson of Watershape University

The aquatics industry has much to say about chemical usage and operations. Most of these discussions relate to swimmer safety and health, water and air quality, and minimum and maximum values of various measurable parameters. This program has an entirely different focus: We pull back the curtain and look at the best practices needed for how to construct the storage and treatment systems. This course is much less about operations and more about building facilities that enhance safety and efficiency for pool operators and facility managers.

1:00 hour -Watershape University is authorized by IACET to offer 0.1 CEUs for this program.

CEUs are awarded for successfully logging completion of this webinar through the course curriculum page after viewing the lecture. Further instructions for registering your completion of this course are posted on the course curriculum page below the webinar recording.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. Identify the hazards and exposure risks of storing and working with pool chemicals, including various chlorine types, acids, ozone and other commonly used chemical compounds.
2. Evaluate solutions and details from access and egress to material and equipment specifications including corrosion-proof doors, ventilation fans and PPE.
3. Explain the key standards and codes that guide equipment room design including the Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
4. Interpret a detailed design workflow and checklist to assist with new design or evaluation of existing pool equipment facilities.
