in confined spaces
- Safety Net installation and
testing protocol

protection technology

access equipment during the construction process

AIF also discussed some of their
industry collaborative initiatives with the Contractors and how
Crossrail and AIF may continue to work closely together in the future
to maintain ‘world class’ excellence.
