Overview
In Eltham, pool fence inspections are an important safety measure designed to ensure that all residential swimming pools comply with local safety standards and regulations.
Your pool requires a compliance certificate to ensure the safety of children and other individuals in and around swimming pools, as well as to help prevent drowning accidents and other related incidents.
During a pool fence inspection, our qualified inspector will examine the physical barrier surrounding the pool, including the fence, gates, and other safety features.
We will look for any potential hazards, such as gaps or weaknesses in the fence, missing or damaged components, and other issues that could compromise the safety of the pool area.
If our inspector finds any problems during the inspection, we would provide recommendations for repairs or upgrades to bring the pool fence up to code.
In order to get your pool compliant, you are required to make the necessary changes within a specified timeframe in order to pass the inspection and maintain a safe swimming environment for all.
In summary, pool fence inspections in Eltham and across Victoria are a crucial aspect of pool safety, helping to ensure that all residential pools met local safety standards and regulations, and helping to prevent accidents and injuries.
Before issuing a compliance certificate, we will check:
- Your pool fence & gates
- Location of pool fence
- Vertical gaps in the pool fence
- Gaps at the bottom of the pool fence
- Height of the pool fence
- Ensuring gates are self-closing and latching
