Residential Swimming Pool and Spa SafetyLast modified: March 5, 2008 - 2:56 PM
LIVERPOOL PLAINS SHIRE COUNCIL“Did You Know” Fact Sheet Residential Swimming Pool & Spa Safety
February 2008
Residential Swimming Pool and Spa Safety ChecklistIS YOUR SWIMMING POOL SAFE ???The majority of drownings and near-drownings in residential swimming pools and spas involve children under 5 years old. Drowning kills more children under 5 years old than any other cause. Unsafe fences, latches and gates combined with lapses in adult supervision are directly responsible for most drownings in this age group. This checklist will help you check if your swimming pool or spa area (indoor or outdoor) meets Councils' basic safety requirements. Council staff can help you with more technical information or a safety inspection to ensure your pool meets the legal requirements. Download a printer friendly version here. NOTE: If you have answered “NO” to any of the questions above, your pool DOES NOT COMPLY with the NSW Swimming Pools Act and Regulations. In the interests of the safety of your household and the community, we urge you to contact the Compliance section of your local Council. Staff can assist you with further information and advice and offer comprehensive safety inspections. (Some Councils may charge a small fee).Contact details |
