In the past years the statistics has shown that drowning in pools is responsible for plenty of death cases with young children. The numbers are alarming and that's why the Australian government is determined to do something about it. The first thing that Australian government did is bringing new regulation and laws about safety and security. If you are a family man that cares about the safety of the children than you will find that these laws help to increase the safety of pools. For those that don't care too much and refuse to comply with these laws and recommendations there are big fines that can awake their conscience.
Let`s imagine for a moment that you are Gold Coast - Queensland resident with a pool in the backyard. If you want to follow the law on this matter you need to have pool compliance certificate. The first thing to do is to check with the QLD pool safety register if your pool is certified. When your pool is registered, they will notify you about does your poll need a certificate or not. Sometimes if you have just bought a house you might not know whether the previous owner had such certificate. In that case, to be totally shore does your pool is certificated or not, you will need to check the pool safety register.
In a case when your swimming pool is not licensed, you must contact Gold Coast Pool Safety Inspectors. Gold Coast Pool has many safety inspectors, and some of them will visit you and he will inspect your pool according the safety laws and regulations. The Gold Coast Pool Safety Inspectors are licensed to give such certificates. They will come and will inspect the pool and they will tell you whether you need to do additional changes or its good as it is.
However, considering that with the introduction of the new laws and regulations the inspectors are overwhelmed with work you need to do your best so you will get the certificate with the first visit of the inspector. If you want your pool to be certified you need to make sure that everything about the pool is according to the new regulations. The QLD pool safety registry web site is the place where you can find the newest laws and regulations on pool safety. Make a checklist of all regulations that you are obligated to follow and see if you need to do any corrections before some of the Gold Coast Pool Safety Inspectors do the inspection.
