No Jim. For safety glass to be required in your example, it would have to meet ALL of the following:
- exposed area of gazing>9sq ft
- bottom edge<18 inches
- top edge > 36 inches above floor
- within 36 inches horizontal of walking surface
Even when all those exist, if a minimum 1 1/2 inch high protective barrier is constructed at 34 to 38 inches above the walking surface, the safety glazing is not required.
