SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• THE SWIMMING POOL CAN BE A HAZARD TO YOUR CHILDREN. DROWNING MAY HAPPEN VERY QUICKLY. WHEN
CHILDREN ARE NEAR THE POOL THEY REQUIRE CONSTANT AND ACTIVE SUPERVISION, EVEN IF THEY ARE ABLE TO
SWIM.
• THIS BARRIER DOES NOT REPLACE COMMON SENSE OR INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY. THE BARRIER CANNOT REPLACE
SUPERVISION CARRIED OUT BY RESPONSIBLE ADULTS WHICH STILL REMAINS THE KEY FACTOR IN PROTECTING SMALL
CHILDREN.
• POINTS OF ACCESS MUST BE CLOSED SYSTEMATICALLY WHEN NO-ONE IS HOME, EVEN IF IT IS FOR A SHORT PERIOD
OF TIME.
• WARNING! SAFETY IS GUARANTEED WHEN POINTS OF ACCESS ARE LOCKED.
• CHECK WHETHER THERE ARE ELEMENTS NEAR THE BARRIER THAT COULD ENABLE OR FACILITATE CLIMBING THE
FENCE.
• CLOSING POINTS OF ACCESS THROUGH AUTOMATED CLOSING SYSTEMS SHOULD BE CHECKED SYSTEMATICALLY.
• WHEN THE BARRIER IS BROKEN OR DAMAGED AND REQUIRES REPAIR WORK, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO INCREASE
SUPERVISION TO PREVENT SMALL CHILDREN FROM ACCESSING THE POOL.
• LEARN RESCUE TECHNIQUES (CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION) AND UPDATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE PERIODICALLY.
IT COULD SAVE A LIFE IN AN EMERGENCY.
• THE PRESENCE OF PARENTS AND/OR OTHER RESPONSIBLE ADULTS IS REQUIRED WHEN THE POOL IS ACCESSIBLE.
