Abstract: Employee #1 and a coworker were returning to the 18th floor of a building on a two point suspension scaffold. They had left the material storage level at the 2nd floor and had risen to about the 4th floor when Employee #1 was struck by a length of steel reinforcement bar. The rebar had apparently been loosened from the concrete on the 19th floor and fallen almost straight down. It pierced Employee #1 on the top of his shoulder and continued through his body. He was killed.
