Barriers to discourage trespass<br />
Suitable barriers must be provided around <strong>the</strong> <strong>quarry</strong> if members of <strong>the</strong> public<br />
are likely to trespass onto <strong>the</strong> site. Barriers should always be provided at <strong>quarry</strong><br />
boundaries if <strong>the</strong>y are near to schools, colleges, shops or a significant number of<br />
homes.<br />
The type of barrier will depend on <strong>the</strong> risks. In a rural area where <strong>the</strong> risk of public<br />
access is low, hedges, trenches and mounds may be sufficient. At <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
extreme where <strong>the</strong>re is evidence of persistent trespass by children, which places<br />
<strong>the</strong>m at significant risk, sophisticated metal pal<strong>in</strong>g fences may be required.<br />
