Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201330131

Event: 11/02/1998

Employee Impaled by Piece of Rebar

Employee #1 was climbing down steel reinforcing bar mesh for a column that was to be poured at the end of a wall. One of the vertical rebar members that Employee #1 was holding onto gave way, causing Employee #1 to fall approximately 9 feet. He was impaled by a piece of rebar set in a concrete pad. The piece of rebar had been covered with an "old style" plastic mushroom cap, but the force of the impact caused the rebar to break through the top of the mushroom cap and impale Employee #1. Employee #1 was hospitalized for his injury.
