The first North of England Branch event of 2026 will be a presentation from 12:00 - 13:00, on Tuesday 27th January by Jonny Davies and John Morrison of T&C Tyres. Tyres are one of the most critical - but often overlooked - components influencing safety, performance, and cost across quarrying operations.
In this engaging and practical session, Jonny Davies and John Morrison, 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.
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—and how to prevent them
- Practical steps sites can take to build a proactive tyre safety culture Delegates will come away with clear, actionable insights to improve site safety, reduce downtime, extend tyre life, and minimise avoidable incidents.
