Abstract: At 9:45 a.m. on April 13, 2017, an employee was working to attach an overhead chain hoist to an engine block that was located on an elevated shelf. The employee climbed a shelving unit, stepping on the shelf where a car engine was located. After attaching the chain and stepping down from the shelf, the employee's hand bumped a piece of rebar, which measured 18 inches in length and had a point on one end, from a table. The rebar fell to the ground just as his right foot stepped on the concrete garage floor, puncturing his shin. He was hospitalized and received treatment for his injury.
