Safety glazing is required at locations subject to human impacts. Which statement best reflects this requirement?

• A. Optional in all locations.
• B. Required at locations subject to human impacts.
• C. Required only for skylights.
• D. Applicable only to exterior doors.

Answer: (B)

Safety glazing is required wherever glass could be subjected to human impact. The idea is to protect people from serious injury if the glass breaks, so glazing rated to resist impact—like tempered or laminated glass—is used in those locations. This requirement isn’t a blanket on all glass or limited to one type of feature. It applies to many places where people might strike the glass or where occupants are close to it. That’s why the statement that best reflects the rule is that safety glazing is required at locations subject to human impacts. The other options are too narrow or imply it’s optional, which isn’t the case.
