From a safety perspective the choice between glass (can shatter) or plastic Safety Glass (shatterproof) is not quite  straight forward.  The safety issues regarding traditional glass concern the fact glass can break on impact and produce shards that can cut.  This is the obvious Health and Safety risk, and indeed for particularly vulnerable environments, such as prisons and school corridors may be best avoided. 

Breakage risk can be minimised by ensuring the frame is firmly fixed to the wall, ideally screwed via side mounting clips.  Indeed, if such mounting is used and frames are inaccessible this can be the safest overall option in many environments.  Incidentally, picture frame glass when broken tends to stay in the frame, even following a direct impact.  

Safety glass on first appraisal can appear to be the safer option.  It looks like glass, but shatterproof, with negligible cut injury risk.  Indeed Safety Glass in its various forms (Perspex, Styrene, and Acrylic) has advantages especially for sending by post.  It is lighter than glass and hence cheaper to send, and not prone to breaking. 

From a Health and Safety perspective, in the event of a fire ‘safety glass’ can produce obnoxious deadly fumes.  Buildings that minimise artificial materials present a safer environment during fire.  This needs to be measured against small risk of glass cut injury.  For frames located largely out of any obvious impact areas, a frame using a traditional glass and firmly mounted to the wall, provides a cheaper, safer, and aesthetically pleasing solution.  Safety glass despite is nomenclature is not entirely safe, particularly in event of a fire, but this slight risk may be outweighed when utilised in vulnerable environments.

The question of whether or not plastic safety glass is a safer option than traditional glass is not quite as straightforward as initially appears.  Indeed ordinary glass in some settings may be a safer option, as well as being cheaper and a more environmentally friendly choice.  All depends on the circumstances of use.
