Glazing Safety and Compliance Audit with Mass Services

Reg. 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 lays down a duty to ensure that the safety of building users is not put at risk by the breakage of glazing materials.

This includes:

• Protection against impact
• Manifestation of glazing
• Safe operation of windows, skylights & ventilators etc.
• Safe access for cleaning
• Safe opening and closing 
• Disabled access 
• Shower doors and panels  
• Bath splash panels 
• Glass tables 
• Mirrors
• Glazed conservatories
• Greenhouses
• Glass panels
• Other glass components

The Glazing Safety and Compliance Audit covers:

• Glazing type
• Glazing thickness
• Size of pane
• Surface treatment (coated or not)
• Size of air gap in double/triple glazed unit
• Appropriate thermal Insulation
• Suitability of location
