[@lyrebird9749]

Why on earth are private companies providing life guards? Surely it's a public beach and should have publicly funded lifeguards to patrol the entire beach! At least, that is how it works in Australia. We also have volunteer lifeguards in areas that can't afford paid council lifeguards. But then I saw the beach in the video is in Florida, US. So have people there voted to privatize beaches? Or just public services?

[@caldwellfisher5288]

@@lyrebird9749 Public funds buy the use of private companies~ then the private companies suck up all the blame, make there own rules, and deal with all the recriminations and all the responsibility of a duty of care for staff. The public fund office is not then held accountable for anything once they have hired out the duties to a private company. This is often the cheaper option, and the main concern for pubic funds is not to over spend. This is not my own personal view, it is just what happens.

[@lyrebird9749]

@@caldwellfisher5288 This is awful. It's bad enough that public authorities want to outsource lifesaving to private companies. But they shouldn't be allowed to also make their own rules. People need to demand better from their state/county officials.

[@caldwellfisher5288]

@@lyrebird9749 I agree, but "people" rarely know anything about it let alone want to fight against it. In any event one would expect a private company to do the same or better than one that public authorities might provide. And very likely the same staff /the same bosses/ and the same rules will move between working for private and public authorities. The rule is absurd of course, and could easily have been over looked.

[@lyrebird9749]

@@caldwellfisher5288 It's a shame that people don't know who is responsible for life saving at their local beach, or are willing to raise this issue with local authorities. Democracy depends on people holding elected officials to account! Also, it's true that people in the same industry often move between public and private employers. But I don't agree that one would normally expect a private company to do better than a public service. A public service is there to serve the public and is accountable to the public, while a private company is there to make profits and is only accountable to it's owners or shareholders. Of course you can have poor service delivery in both public and private sectors. It depends on the service. Workplace culture and unions can also play a role. Some public service staff really don't care about their work, while some private companies pride themselves on doing a great job. But often private companies do cut corners to provide the bare minimum service they are contracted for at cheapest cost. That's not always the best service. And that's clearly the case at this beach where the private company insists on only being responsible for a particular area, even though swimmers need help along the whole beach. Thankfully some staff saw the absurdity in this. But really the locals need to raise their voice with the local authorities and demand a better service for the whole beach. Anyway, thanks for the chat :)

Who does the company imagine is going to sue them, and why?

[@rburch20]

The issue is more complex than you might expect. They were a private company contracted to be lifeguards at a specific location for example the beach in front of a hotel. The person drowning was on the public beach outside of the area they were contracted to monitor, so rendering aid required leaving the area you are contracted to protect unguarded to go somewhere you aren’t contracted to protect. Now just you leaving the clients area unguarded is enough for them to sue your company and you. If while you are away someone in the area you are supposed to be protecting drowns it gets even worse. It’s the same in the private security field, if a car wrecks and catches fire, or there’s an active shooter next door to where you are assigned you will be violating your contract to do anything. So in all likelihood you will be fired if you intervene. Of course there are things worth being fired over…

“Liability issues” = Fear that the company could be fined. Money was more important to the company than a man’s life. Respect for all the lifeguards that did the right thing.

[@tnikabennett3469]

👍 yes! Exactly

[@robertdobie2544]

@Carrot Muffins The chances of that happening would have been about one in a ... billion? While the chances of the man dieing (had he not been rescued) was one in ... one? No lifeguard with even just a shred of morality would have stood by and watched a man drown in that situation. So, in the end, if we’re honest, it was a financial decision to fire the lifeguard. (“Better to let a man drown than to risk a one-in-a-billion chance of their being financially liable for another man’s death on their side of the beach.”)

[@robertdobie2544]

@Karabas TV Much logic, perhaps, for an hour. But at the end of the day, are thousands of people applauding their actions ... or are they shaking their heads in disgust? It probably didn’t do much for their brand image.

[@AshiStarshade]

@@robertdobie2544 It's bad for their brand image because the lifeguard went outside the bounds. If the lifeguard had stayed in the bounds, it wouldn't have been so bad. If they made no repercussions, it could keep happening. THen one day if someone was in trouble on both sides of the line at the same time, the company would be in a big problem. Basically, the lifeguard is the one who put the company in a bad place. Security guards have to stay in their area. There is no reason to think lifeguards should be different.

[@robertdobie2544]

@@AshiStarshade So, what you are saying is that, had you been the lifeguard on duty, you would have run over to the border of your side of the beach. Then stopped. Then, watched as the man drowned. While explaining to the drowning man that, “One day if there were two people drowning at the same time, and I wasn’t on my side of the beach, the company would be in a big problem.” Well, okay. I suppose that would have made the drowning man feel a little better, at least. But what if the drowning man had been six inches across the border? Would you still have turned a blind eye?

@@billsloan There should not be a company policy that requires the boss to fire him in this situation, and if there is it should not be followed period. The existence of a company policy does not free a person of moral duty. It's just a spineless coward that would enforce a policy like this in this situation.

[@cryora]

Suppose someone died because the lifeguard followed company policy. There would be public outrage and the lifeguard would have been the head the company fed to the mob (aka fired anyway). The company would have found some loophole to avoid responsibility. Maybe if someone died, it would trigger a change in policy, but that is a reactive approach to preventing death, requiring a death to promote the necessary policies for actual prevention.

"A superhero is being sued by someone who, apparently didn't want to be saved."

It's this exact kind of thing that makes people not want to help or get involved anymore. Thank god there's still people out there like this man.

The lifeguard's duty was to guard the area assigned to him. He's not a bystander. He's fired coz he saved someone who swam at his own risk. Imagine swimming near a lifeguard, but while you drown, he saves a person who chose to swim in a nonprotected area and can't return on time.

@@biggiganticbones What are the chances of that happening? Two people on two different places drowning at the same time? Come on, get real. And plus, it's not like that happened. If that did happen he should have faced something like that, in the end what matters is saving a life.
