Detection Of Drowning Victims
This document summarizes the results of a simulation study that compared the ability of lifeguards and "patrol support" personnel to detect simulated drowning victims. The study found that while both groups' detection times improved after additional training, patrol support personnel were initially slower to detect drowning behaviors than traditionally trained lifeguards. Factors like age, sleep deprivation, and humidity/temperature were also found to impact detection times. Based on these results, the researchers question whether non-swimmers could effectively be used for surveillance duties to support lifeguards, and they plan to conduct further workplace studies on this topic.
ILS Position Statement: Seizure Disorders in Lifesaving and Lifeguarding
ILS Position Statement: Seizure Disorders in Lifesaving and LifeguardingILS - International Life Saving Federation
1. The document discusses risks for individuals with seizure disorders in bathing, swimming, lifesaving, and lifeguarding. It reviews evidence on risks of drowning and water accidents for those with seizure disorders.
2. Individuals with uncontrolled or potentially unstable epilepsy should avoid water activities until stability is established due to greater risk of submersion or drowning, especially for those with frequent or unpredictable convulsive seizures.
3. For lifesaving training and lifeguarding, individuals with confident seizure control and a seizure-free period of at least 6 months can participate with precautions, while deep water activities require over a year of no seizures.Eye health and vision standards for lifeguards
This document discusses the importance of vision standards for lifeguards and recommends they wear sunglasses with UV protection. It notes that UV exposure can damage the eyes and increase risks of conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration over time. The document also analyzes issues with current vision testing standards among lifeguard agencies, noting inconsistencies and lack of standards in some cases. It recommends developing a comprehensive vision policy requiring regular testing of visual acuity, peripheral vision and other factors to ensure lifeguards can properly perform their duties.
Visual Acuity Standards
The study aimed to determine the appropriate visual acuity standards for beach lifeguards. It found that while calculations suggested lifeguards need 6/17 vision to see a head at 300m, tests with lifeguards found they needed 6/7 vision on average. The study recommends lifeguards have corrected vision of 6/9 and uncorrected vision no worse than 6/18 in either eye to safely spot people in trouble from 200-300m away.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
