Quarry and Stockpile Appraisal Checklist

Assess quarry faces, crests, toes, benches, haul roads, and stockpiles for stability and compliance using this structured checklist. Record site details, weather, grid references, and add photos of the frontage and any hazards. Check for crest cracking, water ingress, face bulging, loose material, toe movement, and signage or barrier needs. Reference ACOP Regulation 32 definitions to determine when hazards are significant and require geotechnical assessment. Evaluate stockpile height, area, gradients, geology, drainage, and adjacent property, then log materials, tonnage, and actions. Conclude with recommendations and capture inspector and quarry manager sign-off.
