It provides a practical, step-by-step framework to manage work health and safety risks associated with glass handling, fabrication, transport and installation, as well as integration into shopfronts, joinery and display units.

Designed to align with Australian WHS legislation, relevant Codes of Practice and key Australian Standards such as AS 1288 and AS/NZS 2208, this plan helps you systematise your safety documentation and demonstrate due diligence to clients, regulators and principal contractors.
