Quarries and mines tend to have differing requirements. Whereas mines may tend to be generally concerned with rescue, quarries may present both rescue and fall protection issues, for example during the placement of charges near an edge.

Quarries may also contain processing plant which may require emergency equipment to be kept on site.
Fall prevention is very much a desirable goal in quarry environments, because of the difficulty in accessing the edge to recover a fallen person.

Adjustable positioning lanyards may be used perpendicular to a face, or horizontal anchor lines amy be used parallel to a face at a suiitable distance from the edge.

The Chrysalis rescue stretcher is especially suiited to both mine and quarry environments.
