C301 - Glass risk assessment

Outline

Glass risk assessments are considered one principal method of selecting safe and appropriate glass on projects of all scales. A properly completed assessment can save time and money on a project and demonstrate appropriate considerations around safety to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

This course will introduce the common criteria and considerations needed to produce a complete glass risk assessment. It provides step by step instructions, highlights common causes of conflict and ultimately aims to give the audience to tools and skills to apply on their own projects.
