Many facilities have windows that are specially designed to protect occupants from glass fragments and debris that may result from explosions, high winds, gun shots, physical attack, and other severe events. These special windows are generally harder to break than typical windows. This may cause some difficulties for an unsuspecting and unprepared occupant or firefighter attempting to vent or clear a window. This training presents background information on blast, hurricane, and ballistic resistant windows. Methods and issues associated with clearing such windows are presented. Students may evaluate their knowledge by taking the examination and are eligible for a certificate of training should they pass the test.
