In Apple Park, employee injuries are on the increase - transparent glass walls are to blame

When Apple Park opened to the first large group of employees, it wasn't long after that reports surfaced on the web about injuries caused by the transparent glass panels that are in large numbers in the building. I didn't pay attention to it at the time, because I evaluated it as an isolated incident that could just happen. Since then, however, several similar "accidents" have occurred, and it seems that Apple has had to start addressing them.

In the premises of the main building of Apple Park, there is a huge number of transparent glass panels that serve as partitions or partitions of various corridors and rooms. The main administrator of the original campus also commented not very positively on their address, who already predicted a year ago that these boards would be the source of many problems - in some cases, they are indistinguishable from the electrically sliding doors, which are numerous in the Apple Park premises.

Since the first move of employees, these predictions have been confirmed, as the number of injured employees who bumped into the glass walls began to multiply. Over the past month, there have been several cases requiring treatment of injured employees. At the weekend, they even appeared on the website phone records from the lines of the emergency service, which the employees had to call several times.

Shortly after the new headquarters opened, the first employees put small sticky notes on these glass panels to warn new employees that the road did not lead this way. However, these were later removed on the grounds that they "disrupt the design of the building's interior environment". Shortly after that, other injuries began to appear. At that moment, Apple had to act and commissioned the studio Foster + Partners, which is in charge of Apple Park, to solve this problem. In the finale, warning symbols reappeared on the glass panels. This time, however, it was not about colored Post-it notes, but warning rectangles with rounded corners. Since then, there has been no further incident with glass walls. The question is how much the interior design suffers from this solution...

Mnoo, this smells like a big affair :D I probably can't distinguish the seriousness of this situation, but I find it at least very funny that articles are created on this topic, but so be it ;)
