Rules that apply in England
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Do I need permission to replace glass in Herefordshire?
Replacing glass in an existing frame is usually treated as a repair rather than notifiable building work, but new glass in a critical location (doors, side panels and low-level glazing) should be safety glass under Approved Document K. Listed buildings may need listed building consent. The rules section on this page has the detail.
Do you replace glass in windows you did not fit?
Yes, in most uPVC, aluminium and timber frames, subject to the frame's condition.
My double glazing has misted. Can it be fixed?
The sealed unit needs replacing. The frame stays, and the new unit can include a laminated pane for security.
