GGF Launches New Safety and
Security Glazing Good Practice Guide
The Glass and Glazing
Federation recently launched
a new publication entitled,
“Safety and Security Glazing
– Good Practice Guide”
.
The new guide covers the
use of safety and security
glass and glazing in buildings
including not just windows,
doors and curtain walling but
also interiors such as shower
enclosures and elevator
enclosures. The guide also
details the key performances
of safety and security glazing
when subject to manual,
ballistic and explosive attacks.
Other areas concerning
the safety of persons
such as overhead glazing,
protective glass barriers,
glass stairs and floors are also
comprehensively covered.
Steve Rice, Director of
Glazing and Secretary of the
GGF Glazing Executive, has
been instrumental in the
production of this publication
by collaborating with several
Industry experts who sit on
the GGF Safety and Security
Technical Group. Steve
commented, “This publication
plugs a huge gap in the current
industry information on safety
and security glazing.”
Every Member Company
has been sent a printed copy
of the Good Practice Guide,
but it also
available for
download
in the GGF

3D SMASHES MOVEMBER TARGET!
The team at 3D Group has smashed its
original target by raising a staggering
£2599 for the Movember annual charity
appeal.
‘A brilliant way of achieving
this as well as injecting a
little fun into the office’
At the start of November 2013, the hemen of 3D Group set out to raise £2000
for men’s health charities by growing
moustaches for an entire month in
support of the charity.
3D’s Rebecca Lee-Jones explained:
“We convinced the MD to donate £5
for each order our customers placed that
was over £200 +VAT, we also begged our
nearest and dearest to donate what they
could, and we made sure everyone knew
that we were growing our lip cozies for a
damn good reason!
“As the majority of people in the auto
locksmith industry are male we wanted
to do something that would help raise
awareness of important men’s health
issues,” said Rebecca. 3D Group Director
Dean Sanderson agreed, adding: “Being
involved in Movember was a brilliant way
of achieving this as well as injecting a little
fun into the office.
“We are so proud of what we have
achieved and want to thank all و
