Glazing rules in Scotland
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Scotland. Windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety requires it, and marked so people see them. The duty holder's risk assessment decides where.
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under section 2 of the Building Standards technical handbooks and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 for non-domestic premises. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.

Counter and reception security screens in Coatbridge: questions
Do you cover Airdrie as well as Coatbridge?
Yes. As well as Coatbridge, we can arrange surveys in nearby Airdrie, Motherwell and Cumbernauld. Dates depend on installer availability.
Do counter screens need planning permission?
Internal screens do not normally need planning permission. In listed buildings, listed building consent may be needed for fixings into historic fabric.
Can staff still hear customers through the screen?
Yes. Speech panels let sound pass while keeping the screen closed, and hearing loops help customers with hearing aids.
Do the trays weaken the screen?
They should not. Transaction trays are designed so there is no straight path through, and their level should match the glass.
