Be Water Safety Aware

In 2014 there were 6 fatalities at former Quarry sites across the UK, all of which were water related.  Whilst none of these were associated with our operations, with the Bank Holiday at the end of the week and many schools breaking up for half term on Friday, it’s a good time for site Teams to check that their precautions to deter trespassers and rescue/retrieval equipment remains in good order.  It is equally important that checks are made to ensure control measures at any vacant/disused sites remain robust.  It is good practice to record any inspections and maintenance that is undertaken, with photos being taken of repairs where possible.
