CW: Swimming pools and drowning
The applicable regulation and how it is implemented by pool owner/operators are really vague in Queensland, but what I’ve managed to find:
https://www.worksafe.qld.gov.au/news-and-events/alerts/incident-alerts/2021/safety-at-swimming-poolsSafety Management Plan guideline: https://www.epw.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/5050/swimmingpoolsafetymanagmentplanguideline.pdf
And
Owner/Agent guideline: https://www.epw.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/4112/guidelinesforpoolownersandpropertyagents.pdfTl;Dr? There’s no mention of Floatation devices and equipment. There’s a lot about fences and parental supervision.
Evidentially, there’s a lot of parental supervision happening, leading to dead parents.
