Putting up stainless steel rails before the fixed tempered glass panel is a good safety measure if there are many people ( children included ) moving in and out from that area.
There had been cases of glass got broken because people " walked through it ".
That is why it is a good idea to stick some signs, words or pictures on the glass ( even if it is tinted ) in public area so that people are reminded that there is glass " in front ". But what is at the eye level of the adult is not so to the children !!
