Safety glazing for schools and public buildings means finding glass in critical locations, such as doors, side panels and low-level panes, that would break dangerously, and replacing it with toughened or laminated safety glass or protecting it with safety film. It helps duty holders meet workplace and building safety rules where children, staff and visitors move around.

What to think about first
Prioritising
Start with doors, side panels and low-level glass in busy areas, then work outwards. The schedule makes it easy to phase.
Manifestation
Large clear panes need markings at eye level so people do not walk into them.
Consents and safety: 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.
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Camberley: questions
Do you cover Sandhurst as well as Camberley?
Yes. As well as Camberley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Sandhurst, Farnborough and Crowthorne. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you replace glass in fire doors?
Often, yes, using the fire-rated glass and glazing system named in the door's certification or test evidence; some doors need a certificated fire-door installer, which we check first. Fire door glass must never be replaced with ordinary safety or security glass.
Can you work during school holidays?
Yes. Most school glazing work is planned for holidays, weekends or after hours.
Do we have to replace all the old glass?
Not necessarily. The duty is to make glass safe where needed. That may mean replacement, film or guarding, depending on the pane and the risk.
