How do I know where to use a safety glass, laminated, toughened or wired?
A. Very briefly and not covering all the requirements, BS6206 and Document N1 & N2 of the Building regulations define areas that are deemed to be critical locations and more prone to an accident. In these areas, eg., glass in a door, either side of a door or within 800mm of the floor, use an appropriate safety glass. Where abnormal behaviour can be expected, eg., in schools or hospitals, all necessary precautions must be taken to minimise any potential risk.
