Glass elements in walls give rooms a light and
friendly atmosphere .
At the same time, though, they can pose a safety risk to people and
animals ( e.g. birds ) .
Therefore, glass elements should have safety markings ( collision
protection ) .
Often these are required by law anyway .
New buildings which give access to the public will not be certified
unless passage
way glass elements have been sufficiently marked with collision
protection material
in accordance with .Workplace Regulations
.
The same goes for existing buildings undergoing renovation etc..
Safety markings are mostly used on glass doors, automatic glass
doors, glass partitioning systems,
windows, shop windows ( also for example AMIRAN glass made by SCHOTT
) .
There have been a number of serious cases of compensation awarded
by the courts due to failure to apply required safety markings .
These negative consequences can be avoided by the use of ..GLAS
MA
- coating .being applied on location even in cases where, due to
oversight, safety markings have been omitted prior to the commissioning
of a building..
NOTE.: The motif providing collision protection or the safety markings
should not
............. be too restrained but
..must ..be
easily visible.!
