As the summer vacation is approaching, how can the water park ensure the safety of students playing?

With the end of exams, students leave the campus to start their annual summer vacation. It is evident that the “main force” of the water park during the summer vacation is the students. After months of hard study, they definitely want to unwind and relax during the summer months. The water park is one of the places they choose to relax. So, operators must focus on earnings during the summer months and not forget to protect the health and safety of young students, as they are the future of society. So, how can operators ensure the water park safety of young students during their playtime?

The water amusement facility is a vehicle for tourists and students to play, and the speed is very fast when sliding. A good water park equipment will bring a joyful experience to visitors, but if it is problematic, it will cause physical harm. For example, issues such as cracking of the slideway, degumming of the interface, foreign matter in the slideway, and missing protective grates at the return pipe. If staff do not timely examine and reveal the presence of safety problems, it will endanger tourists. Therefore, workers must check every day and try the slide before opening. Any problems found should be addressed promptly to ensure water park safety. Moreover, operators should conduct weekly and monthly checks and develop treatment plans for any potential issues.

Students and tourists often overlook safety. Even if the equipment is safe, they must be reminded to protect themselves. Staff should stand guard or erect warnings in places prone to accidents. For example, areas prone to drowning, abrasions, falls, or bruises. A water park cannot simply categorise safety management as a specific department’s responsibility. Instead, all staff in the water park must adopt the concept of a safety officer, promptly reporting hidden safety hazards and problems discovered. They also have the responsibility and obligation to stop any unsafe behaviours by visitors in a timely manner. Therefore, it is crucial for operators to improve the safety quality of employees. Safety training and professional knowledge seminars should be conducted for the staff. Operators must not only take safety precautions with the water park equipment but also train the staff on safety quality. A two-pronged approach can guarantee water park safety during operations.
