• Apply manifestation markings to installed glazing at eye level promptly.
• Use mechanical lifting for panels that exceed safe manual handling limits.
• Stop glass handling and installation in high winds that cause panel movement.
• Store glass vertically in A-frames on firm, level ground with restraints.
• Use extraction when cutting or grinding glass to control dust and fragments.
• Brief the team on the lifting method and wind limits before each shift.
• Sweep up broken glass immediately using a dustpan; never use bare hands.

• DON'T handle glass panels without cut-resistant gloves and forearm protection.
• DON'T carry large glass panels manually in windy conditions.
