Pool Safety!

 

Pool Safety Certificates

 

Since 1 December 2010, Pool Safety Certificates have been required when selling or leasing a property with a pool.

 

Pool Safety Certificates must be obtained from a Licensed Pool Inspector and every property with a pool must hold one before changing hands.

 

Pool Safety Laws

 

Queensland's new Pool Safety Laws were introduced in 2009 and aim to reduce the incidences of drowning and serious immersion injuries of young children in swimming pools.

 

There is now one Pool Safety Standard, the Queensland Development Code Mandatory Part 3.4 that replaces 11 different Pool Safety Standards.

 

The laws affect new and existing pools and all pools must comply with the standard.

 

CPR Signage Requirements

 

Queensland's Pool Safety Laws require the latest Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) sign to be display near your pool and/or spa.

CPR signs must:

  • Be attached to the safety barrier for the pool, or displayed near the pool, so that the sign is easily visible to a person near the pool.
  • Be at least 300mm by 300mm in size.
  • Be made of durable and weatherproof material.
  • Include a statement that is prominent on the sign, explaining to a person reading the sign how to act in an emergency, including for example telephoning for an ambulance, staying with the injured person, calling for help and providing first aid.

Make sure your pool complies with the latest requirements for CPR and warning signs: Guideline 8 - Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

(Please note that Guideline 7 CPR signs are compliant but if/when replaced, must be upgraded to Guideline 8 CPR signage.

 

 

Child Pool Safety Begins with

YOU!!!

 

Drowning is one of the main causes of death in Queensland for children under 5 years of age.

 

For every young child that drowns in a pool, almost five others are hospitalised due to a water immersion incident and some of those children will suffer permanent brain damage.

 

Please take some time to watch these Pool Safety Compliance videos that have been produced by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission and the Queensland Government which are available through YouTube links below.

Here are some external links which will help you make every effort to create a safe pool environment.
