Glazing Compliance Audit Methodology
We follow a simple, 4 step process to glazing compliance audits:
- Identify – Identify areas where there is a risk of collisions with glass
- Assess – Assess whether glazing is fit for purpose and compliant with current legislation (thickness, type, performance)
- Record – Produce an extensive report of the findings
- Plan and Rectify – what actions are required? What options are available?
During a Glazing Compliance Audit all glazing is visually assessed, however only those areas which are non compliant are recorded. A full glazing asset list can be produced, however this is not required by law. (For further details please ask.)
