Safety Barrier Inspection Report for Pools and Spas
by Tom Smith, from the Community
This checklist supports inspections of swimming pool and spa safety barriers under Building Regulations 2018 Part 9A, Division 2. It guides assessors through requirements for barrier heights, ground clearance, non-climbable zones, horizontal and vertical members, gates and self-closing latches, windows used as barriers, balconies, and above-ground pools. It also outlines when to issue immediate non-compliance (Form 24) and steps for compliance certification (Form 23), including reinspections within 60 days. Use it to document site details, construction dates, references, and determine compliance actions.
