Code of Practice
The Register of Pool Plant Professionals s promotes best practice for professionals working in a pool plant environment. This code of practice sets out basic principles to which all ISRM Pool Plant Professionals should comply. It applies to all those registered onto the RoPPPs from January 2008.
The term ‘professional’ is used in a qualitative context in this Code and does not necessarily imply a paid position or person. Pool plant professionals who agree to enter the register accept their responsibility to people who participate in activities within their pools, to other sports professionals and colleagues, to their respective associations, professional bodies and institutes, to their employer, and to society as a whole.
To this end it is expected that all ISRM Pool plant professionals on the Register abide by the four principles of the code which are:
1 Health and Safety
To comply with all reasonable requests by an employer with regard to health and safety, to comply with all relevant health and safety legislation and to ensure any concerns regarding health and safety issues are reported to the responsible person. To practice the principles outlined in the ISRM’s National Pool Plant Operators training and any ISRM CPD and update training undertaken.
2 Plant Operation
To comply with all current guidance issued by the ISRM, with regard to pool water testing and pool plant operation. This information is available through the regular email news and the website.
3 Professional Standards
To maintain a high level of competence through qualifications, practical experience and a commitment to ongoing training that ensures an up to date knowledge of safe and correct practice.
4 Care of the Environment
To make every reasonable effort to manage resources effectively and responsibly to reduce your pools negative impact on the environment.
