Glass is a wonderfully versatile material however working with it can occasionally present the risk of sustaining serious cuts and lacerations.

The HSE and the Glass and Glazing Federation both advise that the manual handling of glass should wherever possible be avoided as it is during this operation that over 40% of reported injuries occur.

There are many situations however where the manual handling of glass is unavoidable, these include; selecting from stock, carrying, laying on a bench for cutting and placing in a rack ready for dispatch, these are all very common tasks.

In these situations it is vital that workers are supplied with and that they wear suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
