ALL CLEAR POOL SAFETY INSPECTIONS
You've heard about the new Legislation
You want to know what you need to do ...
All Clear will endeavour to clear
this up for you; sorry it's corny, we like
the playful play on words ...
The first thing is to take a look at the
Pool Safety Council website
http://www.dlgp.qld.gov.au/poolsafety
and work out what type of pool you have.
Whether it is a non-shared pool,
for example a single regular household
with a pool for its own use; or a
shared pool in an establishment
offering short term accommodation, for
example motels, etc.; or whether it is
for mixed use of both short term and
long term accommodation. The term of the
Pool Safety Certificate and the dates by
which they are required, vary according
to the pool's usage. Additionally, it is
necessary for properties with pools,
being sold, to have a current Pool
Safety Certificate or for the vendor to
supply a form notifying the purchaser
that the pool has not been safety
certified. As the 8th July 2011
extension has now passed it is required
that all properties with pools, being
rented, have a current Pool Safety
Certificate in place.
The next thing to do is to register
your pool on the Pool Safety Council
list of pools. This must be done by
November 2011. It is easy to do,
just log on to the website and
follow the prompts.
 If
your pool is a shared
pool, you'll have noticed on the
Pool Safety Council website that
the phase in period has lapsed
and shared pools are required
under the Legislation to already
have a Pool Safety Certificate
(deadline was
31 May 2011 ). Mixed usage pools have until
30 November 2012 to have a Pool
Safety Certificate and non
shared pools have until 30th
November 2015 to comply with the
new laws.
A list of some initial
steps you might care to
take towards making your
pool enclosure compliant
can be found on the Pool
Safety Council website.
Even if you don't need
your pool inspected for
a while, it would be
reassuring for you to
know that you've made it
as safe as you can, in
the meantime.
