Pool Safety Certificate

Pool safety certificates are required when selling a property or when leasing property with a pool. Pool owners have until 30 November 2015 to comply with the new pool safety standards, or earlier if their property is sold or leased. Avoid the rush, contact Blue Tongue approvals for your pool safety certificate now!

Blue Tongue Approvals has staff with over 20yrs experience in approving pool fencing to suit State and Federal government requirements. In Queensland, Swimming Pool Safety Inspectors have been licensed since 2010. Before this, there was no requirement to have a Pool Safety Certificate. When the pool is installed, Building Certifiers check the fence to make sure it meets pool fencing requirements.

The advantage of swimming pool safety inspectors who are also Building Certifiers is that they have an excellent understanding of the history of swimming pool safety barrier regulations. On occasions, the legislation governing swimming pool safety certificates is unclear, or your circumstances don’t fit within the parameters of the legislation. Certifiers have excellent problem solving and judgement skills. This enables Blue Tongue Approvals to determine the best way for your pool safety barrier to comply so a Pool Safety Certificate can be issued.
