Effective pool fencing helps keep kids safe. Pool Safety Angel’s mission is to further assist in the prevention of children drowning by ensuring that pool barriers are safe and comply with the pool safety standards.
Maintenance of pool fences and safety barriers is essential to reduce the number of drownings and serious immersion injuries of young children in swimming pools. Pool owners are responsible for ensuring pool barriers are maintained and damaged fencing or barriers are fixed immediately.
Current legislation was introduced to reduce incidences of young child drownings and the risk of injury to young children. All pool owners must comply to the legislation including those without young children, as children may visit their property with or without permission.
Drowning is one of the leading causes of death in Queensland for children under the age of 5 years old.
For every young child that drowns in a pool, approximately five are hospitalised due to immersion injuries, some of whom will suffer permanent brain damage.
