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.
