This course was approved by the NSW Fair Trading as a recognised CPD Activity for Registered Swimming Pool (formerly E 1 Swimming Pool Certifiers), and Building Certifiers.

We will review some of the confusing aspects of the legislation that relate to the inspection of swimming pool barriers for the purposes of issuing a swimming pool compliance certificate. In particular we will:

1.Identify and clarify the topical areas of the legislation causing concern and inconsistency throughout industry

2.Identify the legal obligations of both the privately accredited certifier and Council Swimming Pool Officer in relation to the inspection of a swimming pool barrier for the purposes of issuing a swimming pool non-compliance and swimming pool compliance certificate.

The course will also include an open forum which will give you the opportunity to ask questions or to provide scenarios and situations that may be causing concern or confusion.

The course presenters have extensive experience in swimming pool legislation, and represent on relevant government organised committees including the Cross Agency Advisory Group. All participants, including those participating via webinar will be given the opportunity to ask questions, or present scenarios
