Do any of you know of a code requirement stating that large panes of glazing need to be marked to avoid someone walking into them? I've seen the markings before but I don't know where it is stated in the codes, or if it is.

think the question is more do you have to but flower stickers on the glass to let someone know it is not an opening

There is no requirement in the ADA identifying windows.mstehlin said:
I googled it and found a company that makes decals specifically for this purpose:
CRL O'Briens Style Glass Safety Decal
Easy to Apply Decals Reduce the Risk of Injury Due to Accidental Collision With Storefront Panels and Doors
Decals Have "Floating" Appearance
With today's architecture incorporating more glass than ever, it's important to reduce the risk of people being injured by accidental collision with glass panels and doors. CRL Glass Safety Decals installed near eye level give a "floating" appearance that serves to warn pedestrians of the presence of a large glass panels and sliding doors. All Glass Safety Decals are a white color, and use a special dualsided adhesive transfer material which when peeled off leaves only the decal, with no unsightly residue to spoil the 'all-glass' appearance. Minimum order for Cat. No. 2149 Silver Rectangles is one roll. Minimum order for all others is five each. Our Cat. No. 105 Plastic Scraper will give you firm, even pressure as you apply Safety Decals to clean glass

In Canada, large panes of glazing in an access to exit that could be mistaken for the means of egress, are required to have barriers or railings installed so as to distinguish them from the means of egress.

I think it's a "New York State of mine thing"
LGreene, Is this it or are you already aware of this requirement?
NY DOL Health & Safety 47.4 Application. .
This Part (rule) applies throughout the State of New York to all transparent glass doors and fixed adjacent transparent glass sidelights in mercantile establishments and in public and commercial buildings and structures. .

DOL regs are only enforceable by DOL.
But I believe that large pieces of glass are required to be safety/tempered glass for this very concern (so that you'll bounce off instead of getting shredded...):roll:

There is a resteraunt in Daly City called Joes of Westlake. Great place frequented by mainly seasoned citizens.
Apparently some years back a man somehow went through one of the plate glass windows and was killed. Local folklore says decapitated. Back before tempered glass I guess.
It's all tempered now of course.

I didn't find anything so I think it must be state-specific. Thanks for posting the NY DOL info!Pcinspector1 said:
