Where is safety glass specifically required?

Safety glass is specifically required at glazing near doors, tubs, or showers due to the increased risk of impact and injuries in these areas. When people interact with doors or are in spaces like bathrooms, the likelihood of accidentally colliding with glass is higher, which can lead to severe injuries if regular glass were to shatter. Safety glass, which can be tempered or laminated, minimizes the risk of injuries as it either shatters into small, blunt pieces or remains intact, preventing sharp fragments from causing harm.

While options suggesting safety glass in all windows, kitchen windows, or bedroom windows may have their own safety considerations, they do not address specific safety codes and regulations that dictate the use of safety glass in high-risk areas like those near doors, tubs, or showers.
