What is Height Work?

Height work in glazing refers to the process of performing glazing work at elevated heights. This can include installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of glass in high-rise buildings, skyscrapers, and other tall structures. Due to the nature of the work, height work in glazing requires a high level of skill, training, and expertise.

The job of a glazier working at heights can be hazardous, as they are required to work on ladders, scaffolds, and other elevated platforms. This is why it is essential to have proper safety measures in place when performing height work in glazing. The use of fall protection equipment such as harnesses, lanyards, and anchors is critical to ensuring the safety of glaziers while performing their work.

The process of height work in glazing involves several steps. First, glaziers must assess the site and identify any potential hazards or risks. They must then create a plan of action that takes into account the specific requirements of the job, such as the type of glass to be installed, the location of the work, and the tools and equipment needed.

Once the plan is in place, glaziers must prepare the site by setting up any necessary scaffolding or other equipment. They must then carefully remove the old glass, clean the frame, and install the new glass. This requires precision and attention to detail to ensure that the glass is properly aligned and securely fastened in place.

Height work in glazing also involves regular maintenance and repair of existing glass installations. This can include sealing leaks, replacing damaged glass, and re-caulking frames to prevent air and water infiltration. Proper maintenance of glass structures is essential to ensure their longevity and to prevent potential hazards.
