Swimming pool safety for display homes or construction sites
Swimming pools on active sites or display homes carry a real safety risk for young children, which means access must be tightly controlled. In this handy resource, we provide clear guidance on how to secure a pool that already exists, is under construction, or is part of a display home.
We explain when temporary fencing is appropriate, how AS 1926.1 applies during construction, and what to consider around gates, signage, gap-free barriers and clearance zones. We also highlight common issues like rainwater collecting in unfinished pools and objects being stored against pool fences that can provide an opportunity for children to climb the fence.
Builders and site supervisors will find straightforward information on site security expectations, WHS considerations and approval requirements in different scenarios. If your projects involve pools or spas in any form, this article will help you understand what’s needed to manage risk and protect visitors, workers and surrounding families.
