As communities across the UK prepare for the summer months, Elite Precast Concrete is supporting the Mineral Products Association’s Stay Safe 2026 campaign.

The campaign encourages people to understand the risks associated with open water, active industrial sites, quarries and other potentially dangerous locations.

Recent weeks have seen a worrying rise in water-related incidents across the UK. During the record-breaking May heatwave, a number of people, including several young people, tragically lost their lives after entering rivers, lakes, reservoirs and coastal waters.

Safety organisations have warned that, even when the air feels warm, water temperatures can remain dangerously cold. This can create a serious risk of cold-water shock and drowning.
