- Programme of school and quarry visits to help raise awareness
- Sharing information and providing guidance to quarry operators on best practice
- Liaising with other stakeholders and industries seeking to protect the public
- Running the annual media campaigns to raise awareness of the hazards
- Regular reminders to operators to check fencing and warning signs around their quarries
