The ASM System is a series of guideposts positioned on the deck that are highly visible from any direction. The vertical elements cannot be overlooked because they physically “stand up”, showing the depth of the water, or warning. 

The System ascends in stages, indicating the water’s increasing depths. ASM provides physical and graphic evidence of depts from 3 feet to 5 feet. The viewing distance can be up to 150 feet, even for individuals with limited vision. 

Statistics from the Consumer Product Safety Commissions (CPSC) document that the greatest incidents of diving injuries occur in 3 feet to 5 feet of water. Approximately 750 to 1,000 reported diving accidents occur in the United States alone. Many of these are head/spinal cord injuries that are catastrophic. 

By adding to the existing levels of protection, accidents can be dramatically reduced. Aso, the ASM potentially reduces costly medical care, lawsuits and insurance expenses. 

• The ASM system offers bold, visible graphics and physical elements that indicate the water’s depth. 

• Aquatic Safety Markers exceed all current aquatic guidelines and specifications.  The system is also more compatible with ADA requirements; it can be touched and felt, unlike flat-surface markers. This system cannot be overlooked. 

• Aquatic Safety Markers are made in the United States of high-density UV stabilized plastics that are designed to withstand weather and provide years of durable performance. 

• The ASMs are manufactured with smooth surfaces and rounded edges. The stauchions and bases are impermeable, and the graphics are UV resistant. The anchors are water, chemical, and weather-resistant stainless steel. 

• The Aquatic Safety Markers are easily installed on new construction and can be retro-fitted to existing facilities. They also can be made in custom colors. 
• Installation instructions and placement guidelines are provided. Proper placement is the responsibility of the purchaser/installer.
