Faces in quarries need managing and may need to be maintained to control or remove loose material or overhangs - for example after blasting or due to the effects of weathering and / or erosion. QNJAC guidance offers direction to those who have control of working quarries and how to ensure safety during face management operations. The guidance will also be of value to managers, supervisors, contractors, health and safety specialists, the workforce and their representatives. The QNJAC Safe Face Management Operation in Quarries guidance is available here 👉🏻 https://t.ly/PwVhO Please share this post with your colleagues and customers and help us make our industry a safer place.

Celebrating Our Quarry Connections Smiths Bletchington are proud to support the Public Engagement Programme with the University of Oxford Breaking Ground exhibition, which delves into the pioneering work of William and Mary Buckland—trailblazers in geology and palaeontology. It’s fascinating to think that many of the fossils and specimens featured in the exhibition were unearthed from quarries like ours! We were delighted to attend a private viewing before the exhibition opened to the public and have since returned several times: https://lnkd.in/eGBJE8yT Each visit has deepened our appreciation for the Bucklands’ remarkable contributions, including Mary’s meticulous scientific illustrations that brought prehistoric discoveries to life. If you’re in the area, we highly recommend exploring this extraordinary exhibition and its insights into the 19th century’s transformative understanding of Earth’s history. #BreakingGroundExhibition #Palaeontology #OxfordshireHistory #FossilDiscoveries #MaryBuckland
