Environmental hygiene authorities also reported case to police after allegations raised concerns about insufficient number of qualified staff
A swimming pool at a private estate in Hong Kong’s Happy Valley has been ordered to close immediately after a lifeguard allegedly used a fake certificate, with the case also being reported to police.
The incident came to light on Friday after the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department last month implemented a raft of measures to prevent the employment of unqualified lifeguards at private swimming pools.
The department checked a batch of lifeguard records with the Hong Kong China Life Saving Society that day and found that the credentials of an attendant who was on duty earlier in the week for the swimming pool at San Francisco Towers did not match official records.
