Understanding Pool Safety Regulations and Compliance
In recent years, pool safety legislation has become increasingly stringent due to tragic incidents involving children. As a property owner, it’s critical to be fully aware of these regulations to avoid legal issues and, more importantly, to prevent accidents. Pool safety compliance certificates must be renewed periodically, with different renewal periods for houses and units. Failure to comply can result in severe consequences, both legally and morally.
The Importance of Pool Safety Certificates and Compliance Checks
To ensure compliance, it’s essential to have robust systems in place for monitoring certificate expiry dates and scheduling inspections. At Sutherland’s Property Management Group, we take proactive measures to remind property owners of upcoming renewals and facilitate the certification process. Additionally, we conduct thorough inspections to identify any potential safety hazards, such as missing CPR posters or inadequate fencing.

As property managers, we prioritise communication with tenants regarding pool safety guidelines and compliance. During the onboarding process, tenants receive detailed instructions on pool safety protocols to follow. We also conduct regular inspections to ensure that tenants adhere to these guidelines and promptly address any safety concerns that arise.
