Inspections and Assessments

Not sure if your Beach or Pool is meeting local, state and national standards? Why not schedule an LGC Beach or Pool Inspection. The inspection process includes a walk through of your facility followed by recommendations based on local, state and national standards as well as suggestions from the Local Government Center Health & Safety Department. The objective is to make your pool and/or beach safe for your employees and community. To schedule an inspection contact the Health and Safety Department at LGC.

Ergonomic issues affect all areas of operations and often go unreported until work and life quality are compromised. This survey of employee offices, workstations and other areas assures that their design and layout are appropriate and that employees are working comfortably.

Would you like a way to jump-start your group’s fitness program? To measure the progress of individuals as they work toward greater fitness? To show your group members where they stand in comparison to others in their age and gender group? To give them reinforcement, inspiration and motivation for change?

A Full Fitness Assessment can help with all of these and more. Conducted by trained and certified LGC Health Management Representatives, the assessment includes basic measures of height, weight, resting blood pressure and resting heart rate. Your assessment will also give you your calculated THR (target heart rate), BMI (body mass index), and Body Composition (ratio of muscle to fat). The YMCA Submaximal Step Test is used to measure your relative cardiovascular fitness level, and other simple tests measure muscular strength and flexibility. Your assessment will take between 25 and 30 minutes. All Fitness Assessment data is protected by HIPAA regulations and kept completely confidential.
