School sanctuary

AFI supplied its SanctuaryZone antientrapment device, together with powered access units, to ensure the safety of contractors erecting steelwork for a new school under construction in Basildon, Essex.

PDF Services hired two 16m Haulotte boom lifts from AFI fitted with the SanctuaryZone antientrapment device and purchased two more SanctuaryZones to fit onto its own Genie booms for work at the Woodlands School. PDF Services MD Paul Frampton said: "The main contractors stipulated that an antientrapment device should always be used on site when working at height and we opted for SanctuaryZone. It worked well on the contract."
