SAFETY & SECURITY

The cost effective application of clear performance safety film to glazing can transform glass to provide:
  • "Safe Break" glass
  • Protection from flying glass in the event of an explosion - bomb blast
  • Protection from burglaries, vandalism, and bandit attacks
  • Protection from spontaneous breakage of toughened safety glass
  Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 (Regulation 14)stipulate that a Risk Assessment must be carried out in all workplaces to identify that all low level glazing is of a "safe break" nature.  Areas of greatest risk will be windows up to waist height and shoulder height in or near doors.

If an accident on your property results in injury from unsafe glass, you can be prosecuted.

Manx will carry out a free of charge risk assessment survey.
 

 

 

In todays world protection from bomb blast is a major concern, and in the event of a blast flying glass from a glazed structure or panel can be lethal. Home Office Guidelines in terms of bomb blast protection recommend the use of anti-shatter film - safety film.

Many buildings in central London had this type of film applied in the late 80's and early 90's and this film may now be "past its best sell by date" and in
addition will not now probably comply with the latest Home Office Guidelines.
 
  At Manx we could arrange for peel tests on your existing anti-shatter film and/or advise on how to comply with the latest Home Office recommendations.
  By applying various constructions of safety film to glazing you can achieve various levels of protection in terms of slowing down unwanted intruders or vandals.

There have been incidences of toughened glass breaking in a spontaneous situation (due to nickel sulphide inclusions) and this could be dangerous in an overhead situation e.g. a retail shopping mall. Safety film and an anchorage system have proved to hold glass and frame together in this situation.

LLumar®  performance films by CPFilms have been extensively tested to the new European impact testing standards (for glazing and applied window film glazing) - BSEN12600 - and we can produce test certificates accordingly which will give you the confidence in Manx and Llumar®
