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 also
purchased two further
SanctuaryZones to fit onto its own
Genie booms for work at the
Woodlands School in Basildon.

Paul Frampton, managing director
of PDF Services, 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.”
Available under the WorkZone
range of safety and security products,
SanctuaryZone is the only Tier 1
system that will fit most
manufacturers’ machines, says the
company. AFI is convinced the
product will save lives and has made
it available to competitors.
