Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on November 8, 2002, Employee #1, an iron worker, was working for Pacific Reinforcing Steel Incorporated of San Diego, California, at the San Diego Ball park construction project. Employee #1 and a coworker had rigged a bundle of 16 #8 Angle Rebar, approximately 44 ft, 10 in. long, that was located on the bed of a tractor trailer truck. They were off-loading a second bundle. They were using a Mobile Crane (Marco number 6101 Rough Terrain 65 Ton, Model Number RTC-8065, Serial Number D719- 0970) with a 20 ft Choker cable. The coworker connected his end while on the trailer and Employee #1 connected his end from the ground. The coworker signaled to Employee #1 to begin his lift and make the choker tight. Employee #1 saw that the choker was tight and turned to watch where the load was to go. However, the bundle entangled with another rebar bundle which caused four rebar in the # 7 rebar bundle to fall off the truck, hitting Employee #1 from behind. Employee #1 sustained multiple fractures to his left and right legs. He was hospitalized.
