Pool safety essentials

Better Health Channel

 Got a pool? Make sure you have your pool safety essentials in place.

• Always supervise children around water.
• Learn CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and update your training regularly.
• Keep CPR instructions on the pool fence and in your first aid kit.
• Keep emergency numbers in or by your phone.

The first few minutes in an emergency are vital. So having everything you need to respond to an emergency in and around water can make the difference between life and death.

In case of an emergency, call 000 for an ambulance immediately.
