AS 1926.2:1995 PDF Download

A standard called AS 1926.2:1995 offers recommendations for the placement of fencing around private swimming pools to protect small children. Since young children are most susceptible to drowning events, this standard's primary goal is to limit their access to swimming pools. The guideline underlines that the fencing's placement should be chosen based on the site's unique characteristics and the necessity for protection.

The standard offers additional information in Appendix A, which lists aspects to take into account when deciding where the fencing will be placed. This includes things like how the pool area is laid out and how close it is to rooms or parts of the yard that are frequently used. These frequently visited regions should be able to see the pool area clearly due to the type of fence and its placement within the enclosed area.
