This section will give you information about what we have done and what we do too make sure the site is as safe as possible.

​Safety

We take the safety of our customers and staff very seriously, and have carried out a number of checks/inspections prior to the opening of the venue and also on a daily basis;

• The water was tested by Swim Safety in June 2023, meeting the criteria for EC Bathing compliant, with an excellent result against all areas.
• We have had our qualified staff inspect the water, to make sure there are no obvious dangers, both in the water and in the areas around the quarry.
• An independant Technical Advisor carried out a detailed inspection of the quarry, advising us on all areas of water safety.
• Risk Assessment and Operating procedures created to identify potential risks and put control measures in place.
• As part of our AALA (HSE) license we have the quarry inspected on a yearly basis, the most recent in June 2023.
• The working face of the quarry has been cheked by our qualified climbers and loose stone removed. Areas we deemed too dangerous have been cordened off and access denied.
• While there are craft on the water, we have a fully qualified member of staff on the water to ensure safety of our customers. The staff member is Outdoor First Aid trained and White Water Safety and rescue trained as a minimum.

As well as all this, we can carry out daily checks on the site.
