Is your Glazing Compliant?

It’s intrinsic to know and understand your responsibilities as an employer or building owner. If you’re in charge of a space either filled with people or where individuals pass through, you MUST consider the following:

• Initiate a full glazing audit & survey identifying glass types and safety ratings in critical locations. You will not have the information required in determining injury risk.
• Obtain a detailed report of work to be undertaken ensuring all glazing identified as unsafe for its location is upgraded.
• Act upon areas of non-compliance and instigate a monitoring programme to identify new risks.
• Regularly review the situation.
