Where should safety and rescue equipment be kept?

  1. In a locked cabinet near the pool

  2. Kept easily accessible around the pool

  3. In the lifeguard office

  4. Next to the chemical storage area

The correct answer is: In a locked cabinet near the pool

Safety and rescue equipment should always be kept in a locked cabinet near the pool for easy accessibility in case of an emergency. Option B does mention that the equipment should be kept easily accessible, but it does not specify a locked cabinet which is an important safety measure. Option C mentions the lifeguard office, but it may not always be near the pool area. Option D suggests keeping the equipment next to the chemical storage area, which is not ideal as it can be hazardous and difficult to access in an emergency situation. Therefore, the best option to ensure the safety and accessibility of the equipment is to keep it in a locked cabinet near the pool.
