Some glaziers work with glass in motor vehicles specifically; other work specifically with the protection glass found in aircraft.[1][3]
Education and training[edit]
Glaziers are usually educated at the senior high school diploma or equivalent level and learn the skills of the trade through an apprenticeship program, which in the U.S. is four years typically.[3]
In the U.S., apprenticeship programs are offered through the National Cup Association as well as trade associations and local contractors' associations. Construction-industry glaziers are members of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades frequently.[1]
In Ontario, Canada, apprenticeships are offered at the provincial level and certified through the Ontario University of Trades.[5]
Other provinces manage their own apprenticeship programs.

Occupational hazards[edit]
Occupational hazards encountered by glaziers are the risks of being trim by glass or tools and falling from scaffolds or ladders.[1][3] The usage of heavy equipment could also cause damage: the Country wide Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reported in 1990 a journeyman glazier died within an industrial incident in Indiana after wanting to use a manlift to carry a thousand-pound case of cup that your manlift didn't have capacity to transport.[7]
In the United States[edit]
Based on the Occupational Outlook Handbook, there are a few 45,300 glaziers in the United States, with median pay of $38,410 per year in 2014.[3] Two-thirds of Glaziers work in the building blocks, structure, and building exterior contractors industry, with smaller figures working in building supplies and materials working, building finishing contracting, automotive maintenance and repair, and cup and glass product manufacturing.[2][3]
Among the 50 states, only Connecticut and Florida require glaziers to carry a license.[3]
