Pool safety laws were introduced to make it safer for younger children who are exposed to swimming pools. There have been a huge number of drowning incidents reported for children less than two years old. This number has gone down after the implementation of pool safety laws but not reduced to the minimum. Therefore, new changes have been made to the existing laws in Queensland. All landlords and property managers must be aware of these changes and incorporate these in their regular building and pest inspections Brisbane to create a safer environment in and around the swimming pools.There have been some new changes made to existing pool fencing laws. These are discussed below: CPR signs - The existing law regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation sign stated that the CPR sign must displayed at a prominent place near the swimming pool. The new law requires that it should also be in compliance with the new methods approved by the Australian Resuscitation Council. Construction signs - Warning signs must be posted near the construction area if the pool is being renovated. This is to avoid any mishap occurring from construction activity. The new pool safety laws have the same requirement. Fencing - According to the previous laws, it was a requirement for all swimming pools to have a compliant fence as all times. According to the new laws, these are now permitted for up to three months. After this, permanent fencing is required. Any permanent or temporary fencing has to be approved by the building inspectors. Real estate agents must be familiar with the conditions of "Pool safety certificates" and "Notice of no pool safety certificate". Pool safety certificate is acquired from pool safety inspector after its preceding process. "Notice of no pool safety certificate" is used in the absence of pool safety certificate. If the pool remains unqualified after inspection due to deficiencies, a "Non-conformity" notice is issued. There are different laws for shared and non-shared pools. In case of shared pools, the pool owner has a period of 90 days from settlement to obtain a pool safety certificate in case it has not come into effect before the settlement. For non-shared pool, the purchaser has 90 days from settlement to obtain the certificate. It is important for all landlords and property agents to be familiar with the existing and new pool safety laws and they must adhere to these strictly as failure to do so can result in huge fines and other penalties. All pool owners must have pool inspections carried out to ensure all rules and regulations are being followed according to the law.
