Handling the Holiday Handoff: Ensuring Your Seasonal Staff are Ready

The holiday season means high traffic and high pressure for Australia’s aquatic facilities. It also often brings a common challenge: managing seasonal staff turnover.

For facility managers and councils, placing new or temporary team members in charge of a complex commercial plant room—where water safety and public health compliance are paramount—introduces significant risk of operational errors. The solution isn't just reliable equipment; it's competent people.

At Trisley’s Hydraulic Services (THS), we don't just fix problems; we prevent them through training and expertise. Leveraging the knowledge of our highly respected team, we ensure your facility's personnel are confident and competent, especially during the crucial summer rush.

The THS Solution: Accredited On-Site Training

Mitigating operational risk starts with education. THS is equipped to provide full, comprehensive on-site training to all staff members. This goes beyond basic instruction—it's tailored by experts who understand the unique demands of commercial pools.

Our training, delivered by our team, which includes three accredited trainers, covers all critical aspects of aquatic facility operation, including:

  • Chemical Safety and Dosing: Ensuring proper handling, storage, and application of chemicals.

  • Water Testing and Balancing: Critical procedures for maintaining safe and compliant water quality.

  • Total Plant Operation: Everything from chemical feeders to backwash procedures and pool cleaner maintenance.

This training is a crucial investment in maintaining a safe place of work and a safe system of work for your team, directly supporting your WHS and compliance objectives.

Expertise Built on Experience, Not Theory

What truly sets the THS training apart is the practical, real-world experience of our staff. A number of our THS Technicians are experienced ex-operators from the aquatic industry.

They are now utilising their years of operational experience and knowledge to assist operators run their facilities as efficiently as possible. When your seasonal staff is learning from a THS expert, they are learning from someone who has faced and solved the daily challenges of a busy aquatic centre. This practical perspective is invaluable, transforming complex plant room operations into manageable, routine tasks.

Training is Crucial to WHS and Compliance

During peak season, high bather load and increased operational hours heighten the risk of error and accident. THS is committed to complying with all relevant WHS legislation and providing a safe and healthy workplace.

By investing in our accredited on-site training, you are fulfilling your responsibility to provide adequate information, instruction, training and supervision. This proactive step is essential to reducing hazards, controlling risks, and ensuring that every individual performs their duties safely.

Don't let staff changes compromise your operational standards this holiday season. Partner with THS and ensure your entire team is plant room ready.
