Safety resources for teenagers

QPA is particularly concerned about teenagers who place their lives at risk by trespassing in both active and disused quarries. Over recent years, young people have been killed and seriously injured in such situations. In addition to its Play Safe … Stay Safe materials for younger children, it has now evolved a new set of resources targeted specifically at teenagers. These materials have been generated from an innovative pilot research programme funded from the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund. You can download more information and resources here.

Video
A 999-style reconstruction video is available of the accident in the West Midlands. You can watch the programme here. Please contact info@qpa.org if you would like to order a DVD copy.
