Which of the following glazing locations is MOST likely to require safety (tempered or laminated) glazing under the code?
a.A fixed window 6 feet above the floor in a bedroom
b.A clerestory window near the roofline
c.Glazing in a door and glazing adjacent to a door within the defined hazardous area
d.A small skylight over an unoccupied attic
Explanation
Glazing in doors and glazing next to doors within the code-defined hazardous locations must be safety glazing because of the high risk of human impact. A high fixed window, a clerestory, and a skylight over an unoccupied attic are outside the typical impact hazard zones and generally are not required to be tempered.
