The Workplace (Heath, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
Since 1975 the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA) has required employers, the self employed and certain people who have control over workplaces to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of anyone who may be affected by their work activities. So if glazing constitutes a risk, reasonably practicable measures need to be taken to deal with it.
The Regulation requires that every window or other transparent or translucent surface in a wall, partition, door or gate should, where necessary for reasons of health or safety, be of a safety material or be protected against breakage of the transparent or translucent material; and be appropriately marked or incorporate features to make it apparent.
Employers who fail to meet this legal obligation run the risk of costly litigation should an accident occur involving these glazed areas.
Initially, a risk assessment of your glazing is undertaken to ascertain whether or not there is a risk of injury. (Recommendations can be found in BS6262 Part 4).

Solar Window Film can help reduce heat, glare and fading. It works in all situations where a solution to heat, glare or fading is an issue. We install Solar Film in commercial premises like offices and shops and in public buildings such as schools and hospitals and at home in conservatories. Solar film helps to reflect heat and light away from the glass and has the ability to cut down on UV light to reduce fading to furnishings or stock.
We can supply and fit Solar film to your property in a short period of time with minimal fuss and interruption.

Anti-UV Window Film protects your belongings like furnishings, curtains, artwork or stock from fading caused by natural daylight. Anti-UV Window Film can cut down up to 99% of harmful UV rays and save you money replacing damaged items.
It can also help people affected by UV light live a normal life indoors without resorting to living with their curtains drawn all the time. Ask us for a free quote or a site visit to discuss your needs now.
Solutions to Privacy can come from either Frosted Window Film or from Solar Window Film. Frosted Window Film will cut out direct vision with it’s opaqueness, but still let light in. Solar Window Film can allow one way vision to glass, turning a pane into a mirror when viewed from one way whilst allowing full vision from the other way. For this to work, it is dependent on light levels as the side with the more light will be the mirrored side. Ask us for a free quote or a site visit to discuss your needs now.
Security Window Film is available in a range of strengths from our standard safety film to our thicker bomb blast protection film. It will allow glass to withstand an amount of impact, to slow down and deter intruders, whilst also providing protection against accidental damage.
In the event of breakage Security Window Film will hold the broken glass together in the frame, making it hard for potential intruders to obtain unauthorised access to your premises. We supply and fit Security Window Film that is used by the MOD to protect against potential bomb blasts. It really is that tough. Ask us for a free quote or a site visit to discuss your needs now.
