Hot weather is here - but please remain vigilant when thinking about cooling off in quarries, rivers, lakes or the sea☀🌊

‘The ‘Stay Safe… Stay Out’ campaign is an initiative run by the Mineral Products Association NI (MPANI) in conjunction with national organisation the Mineral Products Association (MPA), on behalf of the quarrying industry every year to raise awareness amongst younger children, teenagers, parents, teachers and youth workers about the dangers of entering quarries uninvited and unsupervised. They are particularly concerned about teenagers who place their lives at risk by trespassing in both active and disused quarries. Over recent years, too many have been killed or seriously injured as a result of trespassing or swimming in former quarry sites across the UK and Ireland. There is a wealth of information about the dangers of quarry lake in the links below: https://www.mineralproducts.org/.../Respect_the_Water... https://www.mineralproducts.org/.../Respect_the_Water... https://www.mineralproducts.org/.../Quarry_Water_Leaflet.pdf
