Glazing protection a must
Posted on | February 3, 2009 |
In the latest counter-terrorism advice from MI5, glazing enhancement was once again highlighted as a key to mitigate damage and injury in the event of a terrorist attack.
The following statements were made regarding glazing:
“Do what you can to make your building more blast resistant, paying
particular attention to windows.”
“Many casualties in urban terrorist attacks are from flying glass, especially
in modern buildings, and glazing protection is an important casualty
reduction measure. Extensive research has been carried out on the effects
of blast on glass. There are technologies that minimise shattering and
casualties, as well as the costs of re-occupation. Anti-shatter film, which
holds fragmented pieces of glass together, offers a relatively cheap and
rapid improvement to existing glazing.”
