The Canadian Fitness Safety Standards© have gone through a transparent and thorough review over the past four years. The Canada Safety Council is pleased to be able to provide you with this new resource - the only Canadian document on Fitness Safety Standards.
The revised Standards and Recommended Guidelines cover the following six areas:
- fitness-related personnel
- pre-screening and informed consent
- special exercising populations
- emergency procedures
- communicable disease
- fitness environment
There was an extensive consultation in the development of the Canadian Fitness Safety Standards© 3rd ed. With close to 200 pages of information and resources, this will be a very useful resource for all facility owners, directors, teachers, and students. Some of the highlights include:
1) NEW - Twenty Standards and Twenty-Six Recommended Guidelines
