  • licensing, auditing, investigating and, where necessary, disciplining pool safety inspectors
  • approving pool safety inspector courses
  • auditing and, where necessary, disciplining course providers
  • making pool safety certificate identification numbers available for purchase by pool safety inspectors.

The department provides a secretariat service for the Pool Safety Council. The Pool Safety Council does not represent the state.
