- In the early 1970s, the National Safety Council (NSC) and a national injury data base reported that approximately 320,000 injuries occurred each year involving glass in doors and windows. In response, the glass and fenestration industries joined with the NSC to create the Consumer Safety Glazing Council. The Council developed a model safety glazing law requiring the use of safety glazing materials in defined hazardous locations. Thirty-three states eventually adopted some form of safety glazing legislation based upon this model, covering approximately 80% of the population. However, there was little uniformity, as many states modified the language of the model law to accommodate their individual needs. In 1977, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) stepped in to pre-empt the state laws, promulgating its federal Safety Glazing Standard, 16 CFR 1201.
