The State of Oregon Building Codes Division recently adopted the same provisions, and will up the ante next year when it limits the use of wired glass that does not meet the highest safety standards in all new construction, not just educational and athletic facilities.
Oregon State Senator Vicki Walker, who has worked closely with Advocates for Safe Glass and Oregon State Building Codes, introduced SB 824 in the 2003 Oregon Legislative Assembly to address concerns about wired glass, and is pleased to see this new development.
"I commend Central Glass for its responsive, clear communication on this public safety issue and look forward to the introduction of new products from wired glass manufacturers that meet the highest safety code standards that protect our nation's children from injury caused by accidental impact," said Walker.
