Looking for Best Practices regarding Glass and Brittle Plastics for process Computer Monitors on the shop floor.

Depending on proximity and level of risk, that may need monitored hourly. We use metallic hand tools (no metal detector) and check all tools 1/2 hourly, I would be inclined to do the same as  the monitoring is quick and easy vs the hazard level

There are plenty of options out there for enclosures that are not glass/brittle plastic.

 

Perhaps some more specificity as to the application?

We will be permanently installing 4 Computer Monitors near the operator stations that will display real time process setting and data.

Something like this, perhaps?

Have you looked into the possibility of using a plastic sheet coating on the monitors, which I understand is sometimes effectively used on windows that don't have shatterproof glass in food facilities (as it prevents broken glass from shattering and scattering)?
