Pool Safety Checklist

Use this simple checklist to ensure your pool stays safe year-round:

1. Fence & Gate

• Is the pool fence at least 1.2m high with no climbable objects nearby?

• Does the gate close and latch automatically every time?

• Are the pool surrounds free of slippery tiles or algae buildup?

• Consider adding textured surfaces or non-slip mats.

• Is a CPR instruction sign displayed near the pool?

• Is someone in the household trained in first aid?

• Are all electrical cords and devices far from the water?

• Use waterproof outdoor power outlets and ensure pumps are professionally installed.

• Are pool chemicals stored in a locked, ventilated area?

•Are they clearly labelled and out of children’s reach?

• Consider installing a pool sensor alarm for added safety, especially if you have small children.
