According to documents and sources, Apple AAPL, -0.32% has run into a problem at Apple Park: Because so much of the interior is made from glass — the walls and doors, for example — people are walking into the panes, sometimes painfully.
While the issue might seem humorous, there are workplace regulations that Apple could be violating.
The two men — one an employee, according to the records — both walked into glass and suffered cuts to the head on Jan. 2.
Just heard that the first day Apple Park opened, seven people injured themselves by walking straight into the glass doors.
Apple’s new headquarters is far from the only modern structure that’s run into problems because of large, transparent surfaces.
Apple stock has gained 27.7% in the past year, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.08% , which counts Apple as a component, increased 24.3% in that time.
Apple is the most valuable company in the world, with a market capitalization of $877.8 billion at Thursday’s closing price of $172.99, according to FactSet. »
