Schoolchildren will be warned of the dangers of swimming in quarries in an education programme developed in the wake of two deaths in Inverkeithing.
Both primary and secondary school pupils will be targeted in lessons to be delivered by police, firefighters and two life-saving charities.
The action comes after the deaths of 18-year-olds John McKay and Cameron Lancaster at Prestonhill Quarry and has been instigated by the multi-agency group set up to try to prevent another tragedy at the site.
Costs are also being determined for new fences and signs, which were recommended in a safety study.
Until the owner of the quarry is traced, the group is looking at ways of making it safer, including education on water safety.
After Mr McKay drowned in June, 10 months after Mr Lancaster lost his life at the same spot, information was urgently distributed to schools as they prepared to break up for the summer holiday.
The more extensive education was announced following the Prestonhill Quarry group’s latest meeting.
Inverkeithing Community Council chairwoman Helen Doig, a member of the group, said: “Finding the owner of the site is the key to resolving this situation but until this happens it’s important that as individual agencies and together we do all we can.
“Therefore, we’re planning on developing two programmes, one aimed at primary school children and another for secondary school pupils, to educate them about the dangers of swimming in quarries.
“This was building on the work done in schools prior to the summer holidays.
“These sessions will be delivered in partnership by the police, fire service, Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) and Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).”
The group meets regularly as efforts continue to contact Letham Bay Developments, which remains the registered owner of the quarry after dissolution of the company was voided last year.
Mrs Doig said: “We’ve still got work to do but we are confident we are making progress.
“The safety study by the consultant is now also complete and focuses on fencing and signage.
“We’re currently sourcing quotes and will review this at our next meeting.”
Before Mr McKay’s death, notices the council had tried to serve on the owner were returned.
