Danger - Quarry Workings - Deep Water - No Swimming - Keep out - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A critical safety notice designed to prevent accidents at quarry sites where deep water is present. Quarries often contain sudden, steep drops and deep, cold water, which pose drowning risks even to experienced swimmers. This sign serves as a clear warning of the water hazard, explicitly instructing people not to swim and to stay away from the area, helping reduce the likelihood of serious injury or fatalities.

This sign should be placed at all access points to water-filled quarry pits, including gates, footpaths, parking areas, and informal trails near the quarry. It should also be installed along the edges of the water where people might be tempted to approach or swim. Strategic placement ensures maximum visibility, alerting visitors and workers before they reach the dangerous water zone and minimizing the risk of accidental entry.

The wording “Deep Water” highlights the physical hazard, while “No Swimming” provides a direct behavioural instruction to prevent risky actions. “Keep Out” reinforces that the area is off-limits to unauthorised persons, serving both as a safety measure and a legal precaution for quarry operators. This combination of messages ensures that the hazard and required actions are immediately understood.

Overall, using this sign is essential for maintaining safety at quarry sites with water hazards. It protects the public and workers from drowning risks, reinforces hazard awareness, and helps quarry operators comply with safety regulations. Clear signage of this type is a simple yet highly effective way to prevent accidents and promote a culture of safety in high-risk environments.
