Safety Action Notice – SAN2602

Glazing may fail causing it to shatter or fall. Where installed overhead or at height, this can result in risk of injury to anyone below, or risk of fall or injury where there is reliance on the glazing to act as a protective barrier, in addition to other concerns. Given recent reported incidents, including in healthcare environments (Appendix A), this notice requires that locations, details of each installation and existing inspection / maintenance arrangements should be established to facilitate risk assessment.
