Warmer summer weather means more people are enjoying swimming pools, which can lead to a higher risk of accidents. As a pool professional, your company is also likely to be more active, so it’s important to protect your business.
Maintain open communication with existing and new customers to promptly address any concerns and strengthen relationships. Have detailed contracts in place with your clients outlining the scope of work, responsibilities and expectations to prevent misunderstandings or disputes. Stay proactive with regular pool maintenance to prevent major issues. Take photos and keep chemical log books and details of your routes. If a claim were to arise, it’s beneficial to have all of the necessary information.
The most important measure you can take is to make sure you are properly insured. Verify that you have insurance coverage for your pool company, including liability insurance, property insurance and workers’ compensation. Lastly, enjoy your job, enjoy your summer and always remember to protect your work and protect your life!
