Do you have an emergency requiring the replacement of damaged glass at height?

An assessment must be carried out and a risk-reduction plan put in place following the breaking or shattering of glass in an overhead location. This should involve the rapid replacement of glass, prioritising the safety of people in and around the building.

Any replacements should be made, considering the safety of building tenants and the wider public.

Emergency glazing make safes may have to be made for the following reasons:

  • Removing broken glass for the safety of building occupants and passersby.
  • Maintaining building security.
  • Ensuring protection against weather damage, until full reparations are made.
  • Allowing business to continue as usual.
  • Maintaining health and safety compliance.

What safety precautions do we take when assessing glass at height?

Using IRATA Rope Access techniques, our specialists in emergency glazing make safes will rapidly assess requirements and begin work in assuring the safety of the building occupants. Although the defective glazing will have to be replaced in the long term, we will carry out an assessment and recommend temporary safety measures.

Our emergency glazing make safes include the removal of hazards (such as broken glass) and securing any openings. Our technicians may specify the fitting of emergency glazing film or removal of defective broken glass followed by the installation of temporary boarding/weatherproofing. Any such work will be carried out with minimal disruption of the building occupiers.

The Dynamic Access assessors will attempt to establish the cause of damage and this may involve the collection of a defective glazing sample to be analysed in a laboratory for the presence of Nickel Sulphide. Commonly found in toughened glass, this substance is known to cause spontaneous breakages.

After completing the initial works, Dynamic Access will offer a quotation to cover the replacement of the defective glazing.
