The first Technical Evening of the Yorkshire Technical season will be on Tuesday, 8th September 2026.
In this engaging and practical session, Jonny Davies and John Morrison (T&C Site Services), both experienced specialists in tyre management and operational safety, will deliver a comprehensive overview of tyre awareness tailored specifically for the quarrying and extractives sector.
Tyres are one of the most critical - but often overlooked - components influencing safety, performance, and cost across quarrying operations.
This presentation will cover:
Common tyre-related hazards in quarry environments
Best practices for inspection, handling, and maintenance
How tyre condition impacts machine stability, braking, and fuel economy
Reducing risk through proper inflation, loading, and operational behaviours
Real-world examples of tyre failures
Practical steps sites can take to build a proactive tyre safety culture
Attendees will come away with clear, actionable insights to improve site safety, reduce downtime, extend tyre life, and minimise avoidable incidents.
