In September 2010, the National Swimming Pool Foundation was awarded a Consumer Product Safety Commission contract, through Erica Lane Enterprises, to help educate health officials and bring public pools and spas into compliance with the P&SS Act. In addition, the foundation will host in-person training sessions.
Participants in the online course are able to work at their own pace. The interactive course features narration, images and video, and includes practice exercises. A downloadable PDF resource guide is offered in addition to a link to a copy of the P&SS Act. Participants can register for the free online Pool & Spa Safety course at www.nspf.org and click on online training.
