Welcome to safewindshields.org and Congratulations on Your Commitment to Safety!

Safewindshields.org is the site dedicated to providing information about proper auto glass replacements and is owned and managed by the Auto Glass Safety Council.

The Auto Glass Safety Council is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the safe replacement of auto glass. The Auto Glass Safety Council was founded and is supported by auto glass companies and other organizations that keep vehicle safety as their primary goal. Its mission is to make every auto glass replacement a safe one. It does so by:

• Developing and maintaining standards for the safe replacement of auto glass;
• Providing an industry-wide accreditation program; and
• By educating the driving public.

Auto glass, especially the windshield, has become an important part of the safety envelop in your vehicle. Proper auto glass replacement is important to maintain the structural integrity and safety features of the vehicle. As an educated consumer, you'll want to do everything you can to insure your auto glass is replaced using the proper procedures and that the company doing the work is registered with the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard (AGRSS®).

What is the Auto Glass Safety Council?

The Auto Glass Safety Council is an accredited American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards development organization. It has developed the North America's only auto glass replacement standard, the AGRSS standard (ANSI/AGRSS 002-2002 Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standard). The AGRSS Standard addresses procedures, education and product performance.

MISSION STATEMENT:
To make every auto glass replacement safer by:

• Developing and maintaining standards for the replacement of auto glass
• Educating and accrediting the industry
• Promoting awareness of the AGRSS Standard to the insurance industry and driving public at large.

For Insurers
Your policyholders want to know that their auto glass replacements are being done in a safe and proper manner. By using AGRSS registered companies you can demonstrate that your company makes a commitment to safety.

Until ANSI/AGRSS 002-2002, there was much discussion about what a "safe replacement" really is -- and no real standard of right and wrong to which to refer. Now there is. The standard promotes more consistency in auto glass replacements and provides a solid base for training programs. The Council also helps educate consumers and insurers about important safety issues.

What You Can Do
It is important that everyone involved with auto glass replacements becomes familiar with and follows the Standard. Although the Standard is voluntary, an accreditation program has been developed so that installers may show they understand and will follow the Standard.

The Auto Glass Safety Council is also providing extensive education about the Standard to insurance companies and the driving public.
