ABOUT THE SERVICE

Our 360 Aquatic Facility Safety Assessment provides operators with a detailed, evidence-based evaluation specific to their aquatic environment. To conduct a thorough and comprehensive Aquatic Facility Safety Assessment, a full day is required for the workplace visit. This ensures that our qualified auditors can carefully evaluate every aspect of your facility, from risk management and emergency preparedness to equipment maintenance and aquatic operations. During the visit, we will assess the physical condition of the pool area, review policies and procedures, observe staff training and readiness, and conduct interviews with key personnel. This detailed, hands-on approach allows us to identify potential hazards, ensure compliance with national safety practices, and provide you with actionable insights to mitigate risks and improve safety.

By dedicating an entire day to your facility, we ensure no aspect of safety is overlooked, and that you receive a comprehensive, meaningful report with recommendations to enhance your facility's safety and operations.

WHAT IS A 360 RISK ANALYSIS LENS?

Our Aquatic Facility Safety Assessment delivers a comprehensive 360° risk analysis, evaluating six critical areas that influence safety and risk management within your facility. This includes legislative compliance, ensuring adherence to relevant safety regulations; risk management, assessing the effectiveness of your risk identification and mitigation strategies; operational delivery, reviewing daily operations such as staffing, equipment maintenance, and procedures; customer experience, evaluating how safety measures impact visitor well-being; systems of work, examining the processes that govern staff actions, including emergency protocols; and physical and psychosocial hazards, identifying both environmental risks and those impacting staff welfare.

Following the audit, you will receive a detailed report with a four-level rating (percentage) for each area, providing clear insight into your facility’s risk exposure. This is accompanied by actionable recommendations, designed to guide you in addressing identified gaps and enhancing your facility’s overall safety performance.

OUR DIFFERENCE?

AUDIT BENCHMARKS

All Aquatic Facility Safety Assessments, including audits, are benchmarked against relevant legislation and regulations to ensure full compliance and optimal safety practices as far a reasonably practicable. We use a comprehensive range of benchmarks, including:

Guidelines for Safe Pool Operations (Royal Life Saving Society Australia)
Safe Work Australia Model Practices
AS/NZS 1319 – Safety Signs for the Occupational Environment
AS/NZS ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems
ISO 45003 – Management of Psychosocial Risk
AS/NZS ISO 31000 – Risk Management
And other applicable benchmarks

These standards ensure that all areas of your facility, from physical safety to psychosocial well-being, are thoroughly assessed, managed, and continuously improved to meet the highest safety benchmarks.

EXPERIENCED SAFETY PROFESSIONALS

At Aquatic Risk Services, our auditors are highly qualified professionals with a unique blend of expertise in both aquatic safety and risk management. With dual skill sets as certified auditors and experienced facilitators, our team brings a wealth of operational experience to each safety assessment. Many of our auditors hold post-graduate degrees in the fields of risk, health, and safety, enabling them to provide a sophisticated and informed approach to every aquatic facility safety audit. Additionally, as active expert witnesses, our auditors offer a unique perspective, helping you identify and address risks with a high level of accuracy and insight.

Our team is proud to be certified practitioners and professionals with the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS). This ensures that our auditors adhere to the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in the industry. When you choose Aquatic Risk Services, you gain the confidence that your facility is being assessed by true experts who are dedicated to making a meaningful, positive impact. Our audits go beyond compliance—they are designed to reduce risk exposures and drive continuous improvements, ultimately fostering a safer environment for both staff and the public.

KEY BENEFITS

Our 360 Aquatic Facility Safety Audit offers significant benefits for operators looking to enhance safety, reduce risks, and ensure compliance. By conducting a thorough, due diligence audit, you demonstrate a proactive commitment to safeguarding both staff and public, mitigating potential risks before they escalate into costly incidents. The audit helps you identify gaps in compliance, streamline operations, and improve risk management practices, ensuring that your facility remains up-to-date with the latest industry practices and regulations. With actionable recommendations provided in the final report, you'll be equipped to address risks effectively and implement continuous improvements.

We also recommend an annual review as part of a long-term safety strategy, ensuring that your facility stays compliant and operates safely in the face of evolving regulations, operational changes, incident data, and emerging risks. This ongoing commitment to safety fosters a strong safety culture, reduce risk exposures, protect brand and reputation.

COST BENEFIT OF SAFETY AUDITS

Investing in a 360 Aquatic Facility Safety Audit offers a clear cost-benefit advantage, delivering measurable returns that far outweigh the initial investment. By identifying and addressing safety risks early, the audit helps prevent accidents, injuries, and potential litigation that can lead to expensive compensation payouts, operational disruptions, and reputational damage.

Studies consistently show that businesses which prioritise safety initiatives see significant reductions in workplace incidents and associated costs. In fact, Australian workplaces that implement comprehensive safety audits and risk management strategies experience a reduction in workplace injuries by up to 40%, leading to lower workers' compensation premiums and decreased absenteeism. Additionally, a safer facility results in improved staff culture, enhanced productivity, and a positive customer experience, all contributing to a stronger bottom line. By addressing risks proactively, safety audits also reduce the likelihood of regulatory fines and penalties due to non-compliance with workplace safety standards. Ultimately, the dollar return on safety audits is clear—investing in safety not only reduces risk but drives long-term financial benefits, protecting both your workforce and your facility’s financial health.
