SAFTI FIRST, a leading manufacturer of fire rated glazing and framing, recently completed “A Fire and Impact Safety Case Study,” a DVD documentary created to help construction professionals, facilities managers, and school administrators make informed decisions regarding safety and fire protection. The program exposes the dangers of using traditional wired glass in doors, sidelites, and other high traffic areas and explains the need for radiant heat protection in facilitating safe egress.  The program also highlights newest code developments relating to the use of fire rated glazing and the latest information on products that reduce the risk of injuries and protect schools and other facilities from potential liabilities.  When the National Center for International Schools in San Francisco decided to eliminate the danger of accidental impact with the unsafe wired glass, they chose clear, CPSC Cat. II fire rated glazing products.
