When glass arrives at its destination, there are several important safety considerations to keep in mind when it comes to dropping off or unloading the cargo. Firstly, it is crucial to inspect the steel strapping on each box to ensure it is secure and not loose. Additionally, check for any signs of damage such as broken wooden boards on the crates. It is also important to look for any labels or markings indicating the presence of a packing slip on the wooden crate.
In the event of an unexpected incident during the unloading or dropping off process, it is imperative to preserve the scene and any physical evidence. A detailed analysis of the cause should be conducted on-site, and comprehensive records should be made. It is essential to document any relevant information from the packing slips and, if necessary, take photographs of the scene. The relevant authorities or manufacturers should be promptly notified of the incident. If the cause of the incident cannot be determined or if there is a dispute with the customer, detailed records should still be made, and the customer should be asked to sign a report at the scene. Again, the incident should be reported to the appropriate authorities or manufacturers.
When it comes to packaging flat glass, there are several requirements that must be met. Firstly, the product (or inner packaging) should be securely cushioned, wedged, and fixed inside the outer packaging box. Typically, the product should not come into direct contact with the sides, ends, or top of the outer packaging box. The entire product and the sides, ends, and top of the box should have a certain amount of space between them. The packaging box should be clean, dry, and free from foreign objects. After sealing the cardboard box with tape, plastic strapping bands should be used, with a width not exceeding 14mm. These bands should be tightly secured to the cardboard box to prevent damage. The packaging box itself should have sufficient strength and should not show any obvious signs of damage or deformation. It should also comply with relevant standards and design requirements. The cushioning material used should be soft, resistant to insects and mold, and resistant to fatigue and deformation. Common cushioning materials include dry wood wool, polystyrene foam plastic, high-density polyurethane foam plastic, low-density and high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, composite foam plastic, sponge rubber, plastic air cushions, air cushion films, and metal springs. The cushioning material should be closely attached (or secured) between the product (or inner packaging box) and the inner wall of the outer packaging box. The protective function of the product packaging should meet requirements for moisture resistance, mold resistance, rust resistance, and shock resistance.
To verify whether the glass code matches the customer's requirements upon arrival at the destination, it is necessary to check each item against the contract.
When glass arrives at a construction site, it is important to advise the customer on selecting a storage location for the glass. The chosen location should be dry, well-ventilated, and have a roof.
When guiding customers on how to stack glass at a construction site, it is advisable to use A-shaped racks tilted at an angle of 6-10 degrees or select a location with a sturdy wall where wooden boards can be used to elevate the bottom by more than 5cm.
A-shaped racks are used because when glass boxes are placed on them, they also tilt at an angle of 6-10 degrees, making the stacking more stable.
When storing glass outdoors, measures such as rainproofing, moisture protection, and wind protection should be taken. The upper part and surrounding area should be covered with tarpaulins or plastic film to prevent wind from blowing it away.
Storing glass in damp areas should be avoided as it can lead to mold growth.
To guide customers in correctly opening glass boxes, it is essential to ensure that for coated glass, the film side is facing up and the glass side is facing down (the side with an arrow marking is the glass side).
The user manual inside glass boxes serves as a guide for users on using, processing, storing, transporting, cleaning, maintaining coated glass, and installation construction.
The plastic film wrapping the glass inside the box serves as waterproofing and moisture protection.
The foam plastic film between the glass serves to prevent scratches on the film surface and prevent adhesion between pieces of glass.
