Safety Consulting Services: Overview
There are many reasons why Ellis & Associates has earned the reputation of being the world leading innovator of aquatic safety consulting services. E&A was the first training organization to clearly define a practicable objective when it comes to lifeguard scanning—the 10/20 Protection® Standard. The 10/20 Protection® Standard has been almost universally adopted as the standard of care for lifeguard scanning and the individual components of the 10/20 have been incorporated into the Model Aquatic Health Code. Fast forward to today, we are constantly reviewing/refining E&A’s program and improving our technology to support our clients in achieving the highest level of aquatic safety consulting /pool safety available.
