Because tempered glass (TG) has a safe breakage pattern, it is used in selected panes in multistory buildings to allow safe interior access to fire fighters, called knockout glass. However, it can be a safety hazard due to TG's spontaneous breakage, leading to glass pieces falling down from on walking areas on the ground. How do building codes address it in downtown areas where the buildings are
not offset from walking areas?
What will be an ideal response?
Protective screens to arrest falling glass pieces are required under knockout glass. The use of heat-soaked glass
gives greater protection (not 100%) against falling glass.
