We have one at work. If you stay up where the algae is, you're safe. It's when you get down where it's sterile that you need to worry.

No. Not just no, hell no.

Procedure dictates workers SHALL wear a flotation device within a certain distance of the SPF, etc.

I outta know, I write 'em.

Yeah, we have a waist high railing around ours, but i can see how it would be easy to do if he was trying to retrieve something...

Ours has an overhead crane that runs directly over the pool. Sometimes it needs service. It's kind of scary when we have to go over the pool.

It wouldn't be too difficult to belly flop in. The bigger concern would be internal contamination.

Yeah we have one also. I've had to hang tags on it before and you have to get out over the pool on this skimpy little metal ladder to climb up on top

hell no that does not happen often. There will probably be a big investigation.


Trust me I know several people who do electrical work at the local nuclear power plant. They are so safe there for obvious reasons its crazy. Your lucky to do 1 hour of actual work in 10 hour day depending on what your doing. They get instruction books that you must record/check off each step in the instructions.
