The importance of keeping an intruder out of a building cannot be underestimated. Examined here are fenestration security risks, considerations, and solutions for educational, religious, commercial, and retail applications, as well as applicable performance testing and standards. The course provides an in-depth discussion on new, retrofit access-denial glazing systems that provide maximum protection against forced entry and ballistic threats.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Summarize the threat posed by active shooter situations and the steps that can be taken by professionals and civilians to either deter attacks or mitigate the severity of their outcomes.
• Identify fenestration security risks that leave building occupants susceptible to attack and describe traditional and new fenestration security solutions for impact (forced entry, smash and grab) resistance and bullet resistance.
• Reference the UL ballistic ratings chart and the tests and standards applicable to fenestration security to specify the appropriate level of protection for a project.
• Explain how improved glazing safety and fire-egress panic hardware for commercial building design have left vulnerabilities in fenestration security and can lead to catastrophic consequences.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
