The Glass & Glazing Federation has unveiled an updated health and safety guide, designed to give an overview to working safely in the glass and glazing industry. According to the GGF, it provides advice on what to do about common hazards associated with the workplace. It also takes account of recent changes in HSE legislation and emphasises the need for all those involved in the industry to identify, assess and manage risks, working together as a team. For the first time the guide encompasses not only the flat glass manufacturing sector but the customer facing installers. Supporting the handbook, an online assessment has been developed where employers can satisfy themselves their workers have a good understanding of the basic safety concepts. The new publication is available as a free download to GGF members via their website.
