AS1926 1986 Swimming Pool Barrier Inspection
by Brent Mason, from the Community
This checklist helps councils and property owners assess swimming pool barriers for compliance with AS1926 1986, especially for pools built before September 2008. It covers key safety requirements including fence height and gaps, ground clearance, proximity of climbable objects, condition of fencing, mesh aperture size, self closing outward opening gates with working latches, latch height and shielding, wall openings, and CPR signage visibility. It also addresses doors and windows used as barriers, including latch heights, pet door restrictions, and window opening limits or protective screens, plus considerations for waterfront and various property sizes. The form supports inspection outcomes such as issuing a compliance certificate or directions, and captures officer details, additional comments, and signatures.
