Unattended waters like rivers, lakes, reservoirs and out-of-bound areas such as quarries or treatment works are unsuitable and / or unsafe for swimming. Cold water often plays a significant part in fatalities that occur in open water. Reservoirs are often very deep and quarry lakes are usually made up of water from an under ground source. Both are made up of water which doesn’t flow like it does in rivers or the sea so the temperatures drop significantly lower.

Under the Quarries Regulations Act 1999, it is an operator's responsibility to ensure adequate measures are taken to safeguard all persons in and around the Quarry environment. Keep your quarry site safe by ensuring the correct signs are used to warn and educate your staff and potential visitors of any dangers.

This range of water safety signs are designed to the specifications of BS ISO 20712-3: 2020 Water Safety Signs and ISO 7010: 2020. These regulations outline many key design elements to ensure the sign has the biggest impact to viewers and include the appropriate internationally comprehensive pictogram. Regularly placed safety signage can deter people from making fatal mistakes.
