Clear zones are a critical component of both Brazilian and American building codes and safety regulations. In the USA, they are particularly emphasized in OSHA standards and FAA regulations for aviation. In Brazil, clear zones are regulated through building codes (NBR - Normas Brasileiras) and workplace safety laws (NR - Normas Regulamentadoras). The concept reflects a universal priority on public safety and accessibility across both cultures.
