Is your glazing safe? Does it comply with glazing safety standards and regulations?

What are the glazing requirements of Regulation 14?

Regulation 14 requires that your buildings' glazing, where necessary for reasons of health or safety, be composed of a safety material or be protected against breakage and be appropriately marked to make those safety features apparent.

Building owners and managers who fail to meet this legal obligation are exposing themselves and their companies to possible large and costly litigation should an accident occur that results in someone being injured by broken or damaged glazing.

Glazing Refurbishments trained commercial building specialists can conduct a risk assessment of your glazing to determine whether or not there is a risk of injury and make recommendations to bring your glazing up to standard.
