Pool Danger Signs

2 products

Two warnings, two specific jobs

Neither of these is general safety decoration. Each one addresses a single, well understood way people get hurt at a pool.

No diving

Diving into shallow water causes head, neck and spinal injuries, and it happens at home pools because a shallow end does not look shallow from the coping. Put the sign where someone stands before they jump, not on the far fence.

225 x 300mm, $29, charcoal and red on white, in the standard prohibition format: red circle, diagonal bar, diver pictogram, with the words underneath so it reads from either the shape or the text. UV resistant and weatherproof aluminium composite, and it ships with stainless steel screws, 3M tape and suction caps.

Worth knowing before you buy one anywhere: the standard most often quoted for no diving signage, AS 2416, is not a legal requirement in Australia. It appears in no schedule of referenced documents in the National Construction Code and in none of the eight jurisdictions' pool instruments, and its one appearance, in Western Australia's aquatic facilities code, sits explicitly under recommended signage. Fit a no diving sign because your pool has a shallow end, not because a standard obliges you to.

Public and commercial facilities are a different regime, with signage duties that sit outside the home pool barrier rules and are not all in the same instrument: Tasmania mandates depth marking on public and club pools through its building code variation, and Western Australia's aquatic facilities code, made under that state's health regulations, carries its own list of mandatory signage. If the pool is not a home pool, check those.

Danger: chemical storage

Pool chemicals are the hazard at a pool that hurts adults rather than children. Chlorine and acid kept together, or kept somewhere a curious child can reach, is a real incident, and the cupboard or box they live in is usually unmarked. The same 225 x 300mm panel, $29, with the same mounting hardware.

The sign marks the store. It does not resolve the rest: storing pool chemicals at a workplace or a commercial facility carries dangerous goods and work health and safety obligations that no sign satisfies on its own.

Also here: CPR signs and pool rules signs at 350 x 710mm, and the installation kit for the larger panels.

The regulatory summary above was read from the state instruments in August 2026. It is general information, not legal advice.
