You must have a cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) sign displayed near your pool or spa that complies with ‘Guideline 8—cardiopulmonary resuscitation’ published by the Australian Resuscitation Council in January 2016.
L&V Pools supply a CPR sign as part of your handover package and recommend you install it immediately to meet Australian safety requirements.
Queensland Government Requirements for CPR and warning signs
If you have a pool, you must have a CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) sign prominently displayed.
If you are building a new pool, it must have a CPR sign when completed and a warning sign during construction.
CPR signs
CPR signs being replaced must:
- be attached to the safety barrier of the pool, or displayed near the pool, so that the sign is easily visible to a person near the pool
- be at least 300mm by 300mm in size
- be made of durable and weatherproof material
- include a prominent statement explaining how to act in an emergency (e.g. call Triple Zero, stay with the injured person, provide first aid).
CPR signs purchased and displayed after 1 January 2017
From 1 January 2017 any new CPR signs or existing CPR signs being replaced must show how to perform CPR in line with the technique published in \’ANZCOR Guideline 8 – Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation\’ (PDF, 297KB) published by the Australian Resuscitation Council in January 2016.
