What our clients are saying


Keeping your pool compliant with local laws and guidelines?

 

 


 With summer well and truly here, landlords should be extra vigilant about keeping their rental properties in good condition. This includes maintaining the gutters, ensuring there are no fire hazards surrounding your property and maintaining your pool (if you have one).

Properties with swimming pools, however, do come with their own dangers, such as children drowning. Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children aged one to four, making it imperative that you ensure you are adhering to the legal guidelines on pool safety.

This includes making sure that the fencing surrounding the pool is maintained adequately, that the pool gate is functioning properly and there is nothing planted near the fence which will enable children to climb into the pool area.

A CPR sign must also be displayed on either the safety barrier of the pool or near the pool. It must be visible to a person near the pool, be at least 300mm by 300mm in size and be of weatherproof material.
The information on this sign must include:
    
• how to read the sign in an emergency;
• how to telephone for an ambulance;
• advice that someone must stay with injured person;
• how to seek help; and
• how to provide first aid.

There are also laws in place for spas, so check out local guidelines and make sure that you have done everything you need to do to ensure the safety of your tenants.
