Swimming Pools and Spas - Resuscitation / warning sign

Resuscitation / warning sign

All pools require a Resuscitation Chart/ Warning Notice to be displayed in a prominent position in the immediate vicinity of the pool.

The following warning statements must be contained within the Resuscitation Sign:

  • "Young Children should be supervised when using this swimming pool"
  • "Pool gates must be kept closed at all times"
  • "Keep articles, objects and structures at least 900mm clear of the pool fence at all times"

The Resuscitation sign

  • must be legible from a distance of at least 3 metres
  • must be maintained in a clearly legible condition

Any approved sign erected between 1 September 1995 and 31 August 2008 does not require replacement and may be retained.  However it is recommended that signs more than 3 years old be replaced, due to changes in best practice resuscitation techniques.
