Register of Pool Plant Professionals (ROPPPs)
The ISRM has introduced the Register to raise the standard of competence in plant rooms across the country and assist employers who regard safe effective operation of pools as a priority, to meet the requirements of the Health and Safety Executive approved document ‘Managing Health & Safety in Swimming Pools (HSG 179)’. Improving standards of professionalism is ISRM’s way of making pools safer, more hygienic and healthier for people to use in a world where increasing levels of positive healthy exercise is a major public health priority.
