Green Circle Weekly Rockface Inspection

by Ces Greencircle, from the Community

10+

Conduct weekly inspections of quarry rock faces to spot hazards and maintain geotechnical stability. This checklist guides you through assessing crests, faces, and toes for cracking, bulging, overhangs, loose blocks, water ingress and ponding, displacement along joints or bedding planes, and any deviations from design. Record changes since the last inspection, note unexpected geology, check stand-off to boundaries and haul roads, and verify no unauthorized excavation at the toe. Capture observations, photos, and actions to keep people, plant, and haul routes safe.

Quarry Weekly Geotechnical Inspection Checklist
This Standard 18 weekly inspection checklist is designed for quarry extraction areas focusing on excavations and stripping. It guides geotechnical checks of crests, faces, and toes, identifying cracking, bulging, slumping, loose material, erosion, and water ingress or ponding. Inspectors can record deviations from excavation rules or the development scheme, note unexpected geological conditions, and assess stability above and below waterlines. The form includes sections for general observations, defects that require specialist notification, recommended remedial actions, and final sign-off, supporting safer, compliant quarry operations.

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.

Standard 18 Haul Roads and Edge Protection Checklist
Use this Standard 18 monthly inspection form to assess the safety of quarry haul roads and edge protection. Verify stability of faces above and below haul routes, road width, potholes and obstructions, containment bunds, and drainage to prevent ponding. Note new excavations, tips or lagoons near haul roads, and any hazards affecting users. Check for 1.5 m edge protection and adequacy of temporary protection during soil movements. Record concerns, defects requiring geotechnical notification, recommended remedial actions, and sign off.

Schedule of Inspections: Primary Production Operation
Schedule of Inspections: Primary Production Operation is a practical template for daily quarry checks. Record site name, date, and weather, then inspect key elements including glory hole, crusher face, surge pile, crests, faces, toes, and access roads. Verify edge protection, signs of cracking or subsidence, water ingress or ponding, loose material, rock traps, potholes and ruts, gradients, and recent slope instability. Capture other observations and note significant changes, then sign off and escalate any issues to the site action plan. Use this checklist to document hazards consistently and maintain safe, compliant operations.
