AS 1926.1:2012 PDF Download

A standard known as AS 1926.1:2012 focuses on implementing efficient barriers to ensure the safety of swimming pools. The standard outlines precise specifications for the planning, building, and operation of these barriers to keep small children out of the pool area. This guideline attempts to reduce the risk of accidents or drowning occurrences involving young children by restricting access.

It is significant to note that this guideline may not be totally relevant to public swimming pools because it only concerns safety obstacles for swimming pools used by private users. Public pools have unique characteristics, such as higher gate usage, accessibility for those with impairments, and greater crowds, which may necessitate going above and beyond the requirements of AS 1926.1:2012 in terms of safety precautions.
