All windows, whether they are in a home, business or workplace, need to be safe for the environment in which they are situated – any failure to ensure this may present itself as a safety hazard and, potentially, result in those responsible being liable for an accident claim.
In environments such as schools and nurseries where the health and safety of young children needs to be considered, thorough risk assessments should be in place to ensure that all windows are both strong enough to withstand impact and, where they at a considerable height, designed in such a way as to eliminate the risk of any child sustaining personal injury in a fall from height.
Furthermore, glass doors need to be clearly marked as such and be shatter proof so as to pose no risk of serious injury.
Every year in the UK a significant number of falls from windows occur as a result of people being in a confused mental state. Senility, dementia, reduced mental capacity, mental disorder and drunkenness and drug-induced states can all induce symptoms of confusion. As a result, environments likely to house, however temporarily, people with confused mental states should ensure windows are suitably safe.
It is necessary to ensure that windows are safe and secure in environments where there is a risk of people who are in suicidal, psychotic or delusional states attempting to jump through them. An accident claim may result in the event that this does not happen.
Safety film, safety glass and barriers are all ways in which windows can be safeguarded. Furthermore, glass doors and patio windows should always be fitted with toughened or safety glass or covered with a protective safety film that meets British Safety Standards.
