Pool safety signage is the first thing inspectors and guests notice. Whether it’s a coastal resort in the Keys or a community pool near Orlando, signage in Florida must be properly placed, easily legible, and code-compliant. We ensure your signage is fully aligned with Florida Department of Health regulations and local inspection protocols.
In the state of Florida, commercial pools are required to display specific signs that communicate rules, risks, and emergency procedures. These include “No Lifeguard on Duty,” “Pool Rules,” “Emergency Contact Info,” “No Diving,” and proper depth markers. Signage must meet strict criteria for contrast, font size, placement height, and weather durability. Improper signage is one of the leading causes of DOH citations, especially in vacation-heavy counties where pool usage is high and guest turnover is constant. Our placement reviews are designed specifically around Florida’s regulatory expectations, so you can avoid fines, liability, or forced pool closure.
Our team walks your pool deck, equipment areas, entry gates, and common spaces to assess every sign for condition, clarity, and compliance. We examine the presence and accuracy of pool rules signs, verifying they contain required language specific to Florida codes. We check that “No Diving” signage is in place wherever the depth is five feet or less. Our reviews also ensure that depth markers are spaced appropriately and are easily readable from inside and outside the pool. CPR signs must include current graphics and be mounted at eye level near the pool or pump room, depending on layout. For ADA accessibility, we confirm tactile signs and Braille placements are present where needed. All findings are recorded in a digital compliance report with timestamps, photos, and recommendations.
In Florida’s climate, sun fading, salt air, and rain can quickly wear down signage. Our reviews take weather damage into account and suggest UV-resistant or marine-grade materials where appropriate.
In tourist-heavy regions of Florida, we frequently encounter signage issues that could have been prevented. CPR posters are often out-of-date or printed on materials that degrade quickly in heat and humidity. “No Diving” icons are frequently missing from shallow ends, and pool rule signs sometimes lack Florida-specific warnings such as “No Animals in Pool Area.” Bilingual signage is another essential factor. In many Florida counties, English-Spanish signs are legally expected, and failure to include them can result in immediate red flags during a DOH visit. Our audits are tailored to catch these Florida-specific signage gaps and help you correct them before they’re cited.
We also check placement height—many facilities unknowingly mount signs too high or too low per Florida code, especially when trying to make signage “blend in.” This type of mistake can be both costly and dangerous.
Florida’s year-round swim season means signs wear faster and need more frequent checks. For hotel and resort pools, we recommend signage inspections every 1–2 months. Apartment complexes and HOAs benefit from quarterly reviews, especially before spring and summer rushes. Outdoor municipal pools and water parks should undergo placement audits before and after peak seasons. Facilities under contract for DOH reinspection or prior code violations may need monthly assessments. We create review schedules that accommodate both usage and inspection timelines, so you’re never caught unprepared.
All reports are delivered within 24 hours of our inspection and archived digitally to satisfy inspector requests or insurance reviews.
