Glazing Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Glazing work combines glass handling, cutting, lifting and working at heights. Clear procedures help crews manage these risks on busy building sites.

BlueSafe’s Glazing SOPs give your teams structured guidance for common glazing tasks.

Typical Glazing SOP Topics

Glazing SOPs may cover:

• receiving, moving and storing glass on site
• manual handling and use of glass lifting equipment
• installing and fixing frames, sashes and glazing units
• sealing, cleaning and final presentation

Each SOP is designed to complement your SWMS and project WHS plan.

What’s Inside a Glazing SOP

Each SOP typically includes:

• task scope and purpose
• PPE, manual handling and heights requirements
• equipment and lifting aid checks
• step-by-step task instructions
• clean-up, waste handling and client handover steps

You can tailor the content to your glazing systems and installation methods.
