In storm doors, what is considered to be a hazardous location?

In the context of storm doors, glazing refers to the glass components used for visibility and light transmittance. It is considered a hazardous location because if the glass is not properly reinforced or if it shatters upon impact, it can pose a significant safety risk to individuals nearby. In contrast, metal frames, wooden panels, and plastic coverings do not generally present the same risks associated with shattering glass. Glass can create sharp edges and fragmented pieces when broken, whereas the other materials, while they can have their own vulnerabilities, do not pose the same immediate danger from breakage or impacts. This makes glazing a critical focus when assessing the safety and compliance of storm door installations.
