Do lifeguards need to have chest X-rays every 2 years?
All managers should carry out risk assessments relating to any risks that a lifeguard may be exposed to including any exposure to chemicals. It would be very rare that exposure to chemicals should necessitate a chest X-ray and the more advisable route would be to remove the risk by reducing any exposure. A COSHH assessment should be carried out and steps taken to ensure that staff adhere to risk reduction measures when working with chemicals.
