Description

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.
