SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:
DANGER
DANGER
DANGER
• Ensure that drain covers are not damaged, cracked, broken, loose, clogged, not properly secured, or missing because these conditions increase
the chance of death or serious injury from entrapment.
• If a drain cover is discovered damaged, cracked, broken, loose, clogged, not properly secured, or missing, you should:
• Close the pool or spa immediately; and,
• Post a closure notice and keep the pool or spa closed until an appropriate ANSI/APSP -16-2011 certified drain cover is properly installed.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result if a drain cover or grate is not installed and used correctly.
• Pool and spa pumps produce high levels of suction and move high volumes of water, which can cause death
or serious injury if a person comes in close proximity to pool or spa drains.
• Keep clear of pool and spa drains to avoid death or serious injury from suction.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result from hair entanglement or limb entrapment.
• Keep clear of pool and spa drains.
• Hair sucked into pool or spa drains will tangle and knot trapping the swimmer underwater.
Avoid placing your hair near a pool or spa drain.
• Avoid sitting on pool or spa drains because the suction can cause severe intestinal damage,
evisceration, and/or disembowelment.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY will result from pool or spa drain covers or grates that are improperly installed,
missing, clogged, or broken.
• Inspect pool and spa regularly to insure that drain covers and grates are properly in place and secured.
