Environmental and Occupational Health (EOH) licenses recreational and educational programs at UW-Madison as a delegated agent of the State of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (ATCP).
Pools
Licenses for swimming and whirlpools are required to protect public health and prevent illness and injury per ATCP 76 .
EOH inspects pools and provides operators support in water monitoring, incidence response, and facility-specific issues.
Inspection reports for campus swimming pools, whirlpools, and therapy pools are available online.
When reviewing an inspection report, please note current facility state may differ from reported practices on most recent inspection. Violations are identified as being in one of 3 categories of importance:
- Priority Item: the most critical violation category. These practices are defined by the applicable WI codes as: related to health and safety that if not met or is missing could significantly contribute to an increased risk for injury or illness.
- Priority Foundation Item: a provision in the applicable WI codes whose application supports, facilitates, or enables one or more priority items.
- Core Item: the least critical violation category. These practices usually relate to general sanitation, operational controls, sanitation standard operating procedures (SSOPs), facilities or structures, equipment design, or general maintenance.
