WHAT DOES A SET LIFEGUARD DO
A Set Lifeguard is responsible for ensuring the safety of individuals in or around bodies of water, such as swimming pools, beaches, or lakes on a film, TV, or commercial set. Their primary duties include actively scanning the water to identify potential hazards or distressed swimmers, enforcing safety rules, and responding quickly to emergencies. Lifeguards are trained in water rescue techniques, first aid, and CPR, allowing them to provide immediate assistance to individuals in distress. They may use life-saving equipment such as rescue floats or buoys to aid in rescues. Additionally, lifeguards play a proactive role in preventing accidents by promoting water safety, educating cast and crew about potential risks, and maintaining a vigilant presence in their assigned areas. Beyond vigilant oversight, they provide essential life-saving equipment, including rescue floats and devices, and are equipped with first-aid and CPR training. In the event of on-set emergencies, lifeguards are adept at immediate response, offering crucial assistance until first responders arrive.
