We are dedicated to ensuring your safety and security whether that's by the pool or the spa. We endeavour to create safe spaces for you or your tenants to enjoy through meticulous safety inspections to ensure everything is in compliance with the highest and latest safety standards.
All doors, gates and fences around pool or spa areas have a number of requirements. Some of these are simple like the gates or doors need to be self-closing and self-latching, whereas others can be easy to overlook, but are just as important. When your family or renters safety is at stake, why take any risks?
Pools and spas that hold more than 300mm of water are also subject to Victorian safety regulations. More specifically permanent pools, above ground pools, indoor/outdoor pools, hot tubs (spas), bathing or wading pools and some relocatable pools and more are all included and therefore need to be inspected. These regulations are in place so no critical safety features are missing ensuring everyone remains safe.
