Sounds like they need to stop staring at their iphone for a moment and start looking where they are walking

They need Mime Therapy.

The Mime comes in and shows them that things might be invisible, but they are still there.

Then, the Mime could teach them to wear cold cream on their faces and I say that’s a win.

Actually, if those glass panes have no etching or other means for people to see them easily, they are a definite workplace hazard. It’s easy to mistake a glass wall for a glass door and smack right into the wall. I know because it happened to me years ago. The place where I worked at the time had conference rooms that had all glass walls and doors. I don’t have great eyesight. Thought I was headed to the door for a meeting and smacked into the wall. Had bleeding in my right eye from it.

Calling 911 documents the workplace accident for possible future legal action.

Couldn’t the geniuses at Apple create an app for that?

Can’t believe Apple hasn’t put the standard glass visibility tape up
On these glass surfaces yet.

Seriously, is it worth the injuries for the occasional glimpse of a girl bending over?
For geeks, I guess so.

All work place accidents must be reported....since there was blood and a cut 911 would have been involved. It’s part of the workers comp insurance rules

Easily resolved. Place a sensor in the floor, when someone approaches automatically open the glass door. Technology has been in place in supermarkets for many years.

I walked into my daughter’s patio door. 15 minutes later, there were decals on the door with permanent decals within a week. They’ve been there for about 15 years now.

Good Grief.

Except in cases where it was truly needed we never called 911 although we did drive the injured employee to the ER or walk in clinic. That was in case of a work comp filing.
