Safety barrier company, A-Safe,
recently undertook a day of filming
at its Halifax factory, showcasing a
demonstration depicting the strength
of the polymer barrier against an
equivalent steel barrier.All of the A-Safe
product range is tested under
rigorous conditions with calibrated
results.

In the A-Safe factory there are two
impact calibration rigs; one, a
dynamic pendulum impact
simulator and one a static constant
force simulator. The other method is
to erect barriers and, under
controlled safety conditions, bash
them with a forklift truck.

On the day in question, all three
tests were carried out, as well as
filming in general to show the endto-
end manufacturing process.
