LIFEGUARD CERTIFICATION DEPARTMENT
FIRST SECURITY GROUP IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREAS OF WATER SAFETY.
The Dubai Municipality has introduced stringent measures to ensure the safety & security of pools, water fronts
and beaches. The necessity of adequately qualified lifeguards to man these areas has prompted the authorities
to form a Lifeguard Scheme Committee, the findings and conclusions of which lead to the decision that
lifeguards need to be adequately certified and licensed to perform their
duties.
The Lifeguard Scheme Requirement introduced by Dubai Accreditation
Department – Dubai Municipality (Dac-Req-17: April 2015) has addressed
these issues and specified certain pre-requisites, skills requirements and
code of conduct for lifeguards on duty.
The Lifeguard Scheme Committee (LSC) has been formed choosing highly qualified
professional individuals to establish standards to fairly set up and measure the
knowledge and proficiency required for the safe lifeguarding of pool, water-parks and
beachfront. The certifying body will be accredited by DAC for being fully compliant
with ISO/IEC 17024:2012 Requirements for Certification Bodies to Certify Persons.
