Abstract: At approximately 11:20 a.m. on January 15, 2007, Employee #1 was dressing up an 18-in. by 33-in. by 28-ft rebar column. He was putting dobbies on the column to ensure the column was straight and even spaced with the wood form, in preparation for a concrete pour. The column was secured at the bottom and tied at the top of the 15-ft high wood form. At some point, there was insufficient space to install a dobby, so Employee #1 cut a tie wire. He was injured when the column form and rebar fell. He was hospitalized at USC Hospital, for more than three weeks for treatment of three broken ribs, a contusion to his lung and some nerve damage.
