| Guidelines for the management of public safety on MPA Member's operational and non operational sites - Updated July 2022 | These guidelines were prepared in consultation with MPA member companies. They provide guidance on good practice in the management of public safety and are complimentary to the existing statutory requirements.
They have been reviewed to ensure that they remain up to date and to reflect the importance of the collaboration with other agencies in raising public awareness about the dangers of open water such as water filled voids in quarries and quarry lakes.
They recommend systems and actions to assist operators:
- To manage trespass issues on operational, closed or mothballed sites
- To help deter members of the public from entering sites uninvited
- To warn members of the public about the potential hazards
- To manage public safety particularly when there is a public right of way on a site.
