As our Pilbara summer is fast approaching and the in- ground pools are being cleaned and the pop-up or inflatable pools are coming out of storage, please don't forget to think about the safety requirements.
Keep all children safe from drowning by ensuring you have the right barriers (and approvals) in place prior to using your pop-up or inflatable pool. Remember that anything which holds 30cm or more of water requires appropriate barriers and permits.
It is also important to make sure all fencing and gates are in proper working order and appropriate supervision is in place at all times.
