What’s  your responsibility if you’re renting a property with a pool.

In NSW Australia under the residential tenancies Act 1987.

• The Landlord is responsible for providing and maintaining the premises in a reasonable state of repair.
• The Tenant is not to intentionally or negligently damage the premises and the tenant must notify the Landlord of any damage.
• The tenant may carry out urgent repairs and be reimbursed up to $1000 for any fault or damage that cause premises to be unsafe.

The swimming pool Acts 1992 was introduced to improve pool safety for children. The provision of pool barriers and warning notices are only part of proper pool safety procedures.The most important aspect is adult supervision of young children in and around swimming pools.

Swimming classes for children and the training of adults in resuscitation technique are other important aspects of water safety.

Remember- children can drown in fenced pools.

Accidental drowning is the most frequent cause of death for children under the age of five.

So it makes sense that a safety pool fence is required by law.

Swimming pool fence and gates with magnetic latch and spring closing hinges, are the best protection against this risk.

Pool fences that are completely surround the swimming pool and prevent the access to the pool are key to providing this security.

• The pool fence acts as a barrier to the pool and as such, helps prevent access to the water by young children.
• Not having children does not mean that a child will not drown in your pool.A significant percentage of toddler pool drowning deaths do not occur in their own backyard, but in relatives, friend, or neighbours pool.
• Pool gate is crucial in preventing a child access to the pool. The gate to the pool must be both self closing and self latching.
• Royal Life Saving recommends you conduct a through check of your pool fence every year before Summer, and a quick check at least once a month, to ensure that it is not climbable, is in good repairs, the gate when opened fully close by itself and locks.
• Ensure a current resuscitation poster is displayed on the inside of pool fence.
