Lifeguard towers are used by many shoreline lifeguard organizations, for example, California State Lifeguard and LA County Lifeguard Service, to improve the viability and productivity of their lifeguards. These towers are regularly developed 10-15 feet over the ground so as to permit the lifeguards expanded observable pathway. This lifted position permits lifeguards to see over obstructive protests, for example, shoreline umbrellas, shades, and different diversions. This high up position likewise permits lifeguards to better recognize tear streams and other conceivable perils. Another preferred standpoint is its perceivability to general society. Since the lifeguard tower emerges on a shoreline, it permits the general population to know precisely …show more content…
The lifesaving hardware by and large comprises of a few lifeguard floats, lifeguard paddleboard, tow rope, signs, binoculars, additional arrangements of safeguard blades, and specialized gadgets (telephone as well as radio). The tower's medicinal gear normally comprises of a full emergency treatment unit, oxygen pack, backboard, and once in a while an AED. This unfathomable exhibit of hardware permits lifeguards to be completely arranged to react to oceanic and medicinal crises. The standard shoreline lifeline will frequently be positioned at a tower. There is regularly one lifeline for each tower; be that as it may it is normal to have 2-3 lifeguards positioned in a lifeguard tower on occupied days.

In other lifeguard organizations, lifeguards are permitted to briefly leave the tower and do routine shoreline watches by walking the length of they are outfitted with a specialized …show more content…

The world is full of heroes. The brave men and women who serve in the armed forces protect the United States of America. Local police help ensure safety in cities and towns. Firefighters save lives daily. Doctors perform life-saving surgeries. Heroes are found everywhere. Although some people seem to forget, lifeguards are heroes too. I recently sent in an application to be a lifeguard at the pool on campus. I was discussing hours with a classmate who is currently employed, and he told me that the hours were long, but often a shift would pass without a single swimmer entering the water. Another classmate interjected saying “You can do your homework while you work.” Lifeguarding is not the easy task portrayed in movies. Guards do not suntan and talk to girls for the duration of their shift. Rather, a lifeguard’s duty is in the name: guarding the lives of patrons. The work of these heroes is often gone unpraised. The job is disregarded as an easy way for teenagers to make money, instead of the true challenge it offers to the employees. The process of becoming a lifeguard requires more than blowing a whistle. It is a commitment involving intricate knowledge acquired through training and experience. Lifeguarding is a serious commitment.

Dr. Eleven, the protagonist of the graphic novel, warns his mentor, Captain Lonagan, of their close proximity to an Undersea gate. Lonagan replies, “You should try to understand them… All they want to see is sunlight again. Can you blame them?” (83)

The story “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” is written by an American writer and essayist called Flannery O’Connor, who is an important figure for the American literature. The origin of the author is from the southern part of America and most of the time she uses the Southern Gothic style. Very often she relies on the grotesque characters, just like Mr. Shiftlet in this story. The author describes the protagonist as a humorous character, despite his tries to look as a smart guy, his southern accent and the things he says make no sense; qualities that turn him into the humorous character he is.

For more safety, training requirements for offshore workers have greatly increased and new facilities have been established to make sure that the workers have the safety skills to avoid another disaster like the Ocean Ranger.

The waves surrounding the four men are depicted as walls. A wall is a structure meant to enclose something or someone. Which is also why the waves are compared to a fence because they are essentially this barrier to the men and their lifeboat. This enclosure creates a feeling of suffocation and isolation because the men cannot seem to escape. They know that there is this vast ocean beyond the waves as well as land ahead of them, but because of the waves, all they can see is the grey sky above them. This in turn creates a feeling of hopelessness because they know it is there, but they cannot reach it. This isolation that they are undergoing forms a condensed reality on the lifeboat. This condensed reality so happens to be the protagonists being placed up against mother
