Abstract
Reducing accidents and fatalities in the construction industry is a key aim of government policy, and glazing of highly glazed buildings can have its own unique safety issues. Working with large amounts of glass, particularly at height, can present operatives with significant risks. Outlines a risk-based approach for practitioners for the safe glazing of highly glazed buildings, dealing primarily with the safety of workers involved in glazing work. Intended for construction professionals who are not necessarily expert in glazing issues.
