Swimming Pool Facility Safety and Emergency Action Plan Assignment

SPT 401 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: As a sport facility manager, one of your key responsibilities will be to manage events at your facility. As the host, you and the facility become liable for the safety and security of all spectators, employees, and players who enter your venue. In this milestone assignment, you will address two of the three levels of the safety and security plan required in the final project by drafting an emergency action plan (EAP) for an upcoming event at the facility you have chosen for your final project. You must consider both who and what must be in place (i.e., staged) before the event occurs and what actions will be taken should an emergency situation arise during the event, all while balancing these needs with fiscal responsibility for your facility.

Note: For your final project, in addition to the levels addressed in this milestone, you will also need to address a first-level, general day-to-day security and safety plan that is appropriate for your facility. You will need to explain your reasoning and discuss balancing these needs with fiscal responsibility for your facility.

Prompt: For this milestone assignment, complete the following steps in the Emergency Action Plan Template document:

1. Select one of the following scenarios appropriate for the type of venue you have chosen for your final project:

 High school facility o A high school football playoff game expecting a crowd of 7,500 fans o A high school or college softball or baseball daylong championship event with eight games at a facility with two playable synthetic

surface fields

 Community center facility o An all-day adult basketball tournament at a local YMCA or other community center o A 12U all-day soccer tournament

 College facility o A Division I NCAA basketball Sweet 16 game (men’s or women’s) o A Division III football semifinal expecting a crowd of 15,000 fans

 Professional sports facility o A professional soccer match at your stadium that seats 20,000 fans

2. Review the Emergency Action Plan Template document for guidance on addressing the following event-specific critical elements in the Emergency Action Plan template:

I. Staging the Event: Create a safety and security plan for the specific event chosen from the list above that addresses the security needs of the

event. These plans must be prepared in advance of an event so they are readily available should an emergency situation happen. This is an

example of a second-level safety and security plan, and you may incorporate a revised version into your final project to satisfy Section IV, Part B. In your submission for this milestone, be sure to include the following three components:

A. Provide an overview of general event information. B. Create a list of contact information for emergency, safety, medical, and maintenance professionals and address how many of each type

of personnel will be present at the event. Be sure to explain your rationale and how you would balance the security needs of the event with the cost of security personnel for a fiscally responsible plan. (See the Emergency Action Plan Costs document for more information.)

C. Include an external site map (e.g., an image of the facility or a Google Earth shot of the location) identifying parking considerations for emergency services, facility access for ambulances or other emergency vehicles, and the location of a spectator first aid center. If your event is located inside an indoor venue, just mention so on the map.

II. Organizing an Emergency Action Plan: Organize a six-step EAP, taking into consideration the event details identified above, and specifically address the following actions to be initiated should an emergency situation occur. This is an example of a third-level safety and security plan. You may incorporate a revised version into your final project to satisfy Section IV, Part D of the final project. (Provide a list in each of the six sections below, and one to two sentences explaining your rationale for each section.)

A. Chain of Command: List three personnel or professionals and describe, in one sentence, their role at the event. B. Emergency Procedures: Who is responsible for scene assessment, leading the command post, immediate first aid care, calling 911 and

producing emergency equipment, directing EMS to the scene, securing the area, and ensuring crowd control? C. Specific Duties of professionals and personnel: What will the roles of the medical staff, police, security, administrators, and staff-on-site

be? D. Emergency Equipment and Supplies: What might need to be on-site? E. Emergency Transport: Who provides transport, and can they access the facility? F. Postemergency Documentation Report: Who is responsible, and what might be included?

Guidelines for Submission: Your submission must include the completed the Emergency Action Plan Template document, including or accompanied by a site map appendix. Be sure to follow current APA guidelines.
