Post Emergency,
Depositions and Trials
(.2 AFO-B or .2 CEU)
Drowning and water-related accidents have an emotional and
economic impact on
society that is impossible to calculate. Every year nearly
four thousand people drown,
and one hundred thousand more suffer from a water accident
serious enough to
require some form of medical intervention. Because water is
generally regarded as
an attractive nuisance, and most accidents occurring in the
aquatic environment are
preventable, aquatic accidents are often the subject of
lawsuits, sometimes resulting
in large financial awards as a result of negligence.
It is therefore vital that aquatic safety assume a high level
of cognizance among risk
managers and the insurance industry. There are at least three
factors that are
responsible for making aquatic risk management a challenge
that most risk
managers are unprepared to meet because of lack of experience
and
resources. This session covers everything from hiring and
training staff to the
requirements of in-service training, audits, post emergency
handling, and finally what
to expect during deposition and trial testimony.

Recreation Association
