## Boundary Of Firm

**Outsourced To**:
- [Aquatic Safety Staffing Firms](/CompanyTypes/Aquatic_Safety_Staffing_Firms)
- [Event Medical Services](/CompanyTypes/Event_Medical_Services)
**Automatability**: assisted
**Routing Summary**:
- Facilities keep first-response in-house through trained, certified staff such as lifeguards and coaches who activate the emergency action plan on site.
- Pools, beaches, and events often buy certified responders from an aquatic-safety staffing firm or an event medical provider.
- Software can sound alerts and prompt responders through steps, but administering first aid is a hands-on, certification-reserved act, so it cannot be automated away.
