Protection from Flying GlassFlying glass is one of the prime causes of maiming and death in urban bomb attacks. There is extensive research data on blast effect on glass and tested solutions that will minimize the degree of shattering, the amount of injury and the costs of eventual building re-occupation. The solutions involve selecting combinations of types and thickness of glass to suit the circumstances, but a significant degree of protection can be obtained by using anti-shatter film, which holds fragments together, in combination with properly designed net curtains, which will contain flying glass in a "spinnaker" type effect. Fire safety considerations limit the use of certain window coverings. Municipal ordinances should be researched and safety considered before any of these renovations are undertaken. Security SystemsDon't waste good money on an ineffective security system. All good systems require an integrated security package designed around protecting your most valuable assets and preventing access to your most vulnerable points. |
