California requires multiple layers of pool safety under Health & Safety Code §§115920-115929. Port Hueneme pools must have compliant barriers, drain covers meeting VGBA standards, and at least one additional safety feature under AB 2977.
CA H&S Code §115920 establishes comprehensive pool safety requirements. All pool drains must comply with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA) with anti-entrapment covers. AB 2977 requires at least one additional drowning prevention safety feature beyond the barrier: approved safety cover, pool alarm, self-closing/self-latching devices on all access doors/windows, or removable mesh fencing. Pool owners must maintain rescue equipment (shepherd's hook, life ring) accessible at the pool. Residential pool areas should display CPR instructions. The Oxnard Fire Department inspects pool safety compliance.
Non-compliant drain covers are an immediate safety hazard requiring correction. Failure to maintain required safety features may result in citations. Pool-related injuries or deaths involving non-compliant safety measures create significant criminal and civil liability.
