On 1st May 2004 a new regulation Document M – Access to and Use of Buildings (2004 edition) was issued. This refers to new critical location buildings, as well as refurbishments of existing buildings from that date; it is a duty of care and states the following: Glass entrance doors and glazed screens will satisfy Requirements M1 or M2 if: They are clearly defined with manifestation on the glass at two levels, 850 to 1000 mm and 1400 to 1600 mm above the floor level, contrasting visually with the background seen through the glass (from both inside and outside view) in all lighting conditions.
Manifestation & partition Window Film, also referred to as fenestration, provides a simple and effective solution in making large expanses of glass apparent, therefore reducing the risk of accidental collision and injury. It is a legal requirement as detailed in both Regulation 14 of the Workplace Health, Safety & Welfare Regulations, Building Regulations and the Disability Discrimination Act.
