Imporatant Accreditation Information for the Consumer
The Australian Glass and Glazing Association (AGGA) has introduced an accredited installer system for the glazing of safety and laminated safety glass. All members undergo training and testing of their knowledge of the Australian Standard for Selection and Installation of Glass in Buildings (AS1288). These installers are skilled tradespeople who have agreed to a set code of conduct and who have qualified to apply an AGGA certification label to any laminated safety glazing undertaken.
An AGGA accredited glazier is your best protection for ensuring that you, or your client's, buildings are glazed according to the code and an excellent way to protect you, or your client's, from large damages claims associated with inadequate glazing.

With more and more legal incidents coming to light, the need for accreditation continues to grow. Building owners and operators have a legal duty of care to provide premises which are fit (safe) for purpose. Building owners and operators are realising that they have a legally enforceable responsibility to provide safe premises for users, whether they be dwellings, offices, shopping complexes or health care buildings. As a consequence, calls are coming in at record levels to have buildings audited and updated by an accredited glazier. It is absolutely essential that you have a current copy of AS1288 and that you can show your customers that you have been accredited and can therefore protect them from the potentially expensive dangers resulting from glazing that does not comply with the Standard. To ensure that you are able to maximise your position in this rapidly developing industry contact your local AGGA office here. |
