    This corporate policy manual outlines the principle of vicarious liability as it applies to lifeguards and their employers. Vicarious liability holds an employer responsible for any negligence committed by an employee, such as a lifeguard, whether they are a permanent, casual, or part-time worker. As lifeguards have a duty to prevent drownings and injuries, their employers face high potential liabilities, with lawsuits from drowning accidents costing organizations between $5,000 to $1,000,000.

    if the lifeguard is negligent.
