(430 ILCS 60/2.1) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 3103)
Sec. 2.1. 
		
		
		"Safety glazing material" means any glazing material, such as tempered
glass, laminated glass, wire glass or rigid plastic, which meets the test
requirements of ANSI Standard Z-97.1-1966 and such further requirements as
may be adopted by the Department of Labor, after notice and hearing as
required by Sections 6 and 6.1 of this Act, and which are so constructed,
treated or combined with other materials as to minimize the likelihood of
cutting and piercing injuries resulting from human contact with the glazing
material.

(430 ILCS 60/2.2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 3104)
Sec. 2.2. 
		
		
		"Hazardous locations" means those installations, glazed or to be glazed
in commercial and public buildings, known as framed or unframed glass
entrance doors; and those installations, glazed or to be glazed in
residential buildings and other structures used as dwellings, commercial
buildings, and public buildings, known as sliding glass doors, storm doors,
shower doors, bathtub enclosures and fixed glazed panels adjacent to
entrance and exit doors which because of their location present a barrier
in the normal path traveled by persons going into or out of these
buildings, and because of their size and design may be mistaken as means of
ingress or egress; and any other installation, glazed or to be glazed,
where the use of other than safety glazing materials would constitute an
unreasonable hazard as the Department of Labor may determine after notice
and hearings as required by Sections 6 and 6.1 of this Act. Whether the
glazing in such doors, panels, enclosures and other installations is
transparent has no relevance towards the meaning of "hazardous locations".

meets the test requirements of ANSI Standard Z-97.1-1966 and such further
requirements as may be adopted by the Department of Labor.
