A pool and spa safety inspection comprehensively evaluates a pool or spa’s safety features and equipment. It is designed to identify potential hazards or risks that could lead to accidents or injuries.
We conduct mandatory pool barrier inspections to ensure that all existing Victorian swimming pools and spas meet the maintenance standards. Upon completion of the inspection, you will receive a certificate indicating that your pool/spa barrier meets the necessary safety standards. This certificate is important as it proves that your pool complies with Victoria’s pool fencing regulations. It is essential that pool fencing is compliant with Victoria’s regulations at all times, as failure to do so can result in serious accidents and injuries.
While each state in Australia has its own specific regulations, the basic principles of pool safety are the same across the country. It is designed to protect citizens from accidents and injuries throughout Victoria, including Melbourne.
