Commercial Safety
ATTENTION: OWNERS & OPERATORS OF COMMERCIAL POOLS
URGENT NOTICE:
Effective Dec 20, 2008,
all
commercial pools must comply
with the recently passed
‘‘Virginia
Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act’’
(PUBLIC LAW 110-140-DEC. 19, 2007)
Any commercial
pool not complying with this law
must be closed
and blocked to prevent any physical access.
Violators may
be subject to State and Federal fines and/or imprisonment.
In December
2007, the US government passed a national pool & spa safety law to
minimize the likelihood of human entrapment, evisceration or
drowning in public or private swimming pools.
All commercial pools in the state of Texas must comply with
this law by December 20, 2008, or be subject to fines, closure
and/or further legal action by state and federal authorities.
The
key
points of this new law have been summarized in this letter
by the Association Of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP), and also in
this
APSP Compliance Guide. More info is available at the
US government website (http://www.cpsc.gov/pssa.pdf)
and the APSP website (http://www.apsp.org/clientresources/documents/ANSI-APSP-7_Fact_Sheet.pdf).
The safest and
fastest way to determine
if your pool
meets the new state and federal guidelines is to
schedule a
safety inspection by a trained and licensed industry expert.
