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.

There is no requirement in the ADA identifying windows.mstehlin said:It just seems like a good idea to prevent accidents. Maybe there is some requirement in the ADA for people of limited vision?
Do you know where that is written?tmurray said: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 didn't find anything so I think it must be state-specific. Thanks for posting the NY DOL info!Pcinspector1 said:I think it's a "New York State of mine thing" LGreene, Is this it or are you already aware of this requirement?
