Employee's leg fractured when rebar cart tips over

At approximately 2:40 p.m. on November 3, 1999, Employee #1, a 19-year-old iron worker and rod buster for JD Steel, and a coworker were at the construction site in Salt Lake City, UT. They had just loaded approximately 300 lb of rebar onto the tray portion of a bottle cart and secured it with #9 wire. The coworker went to an upper level to receive the load and begin work. Employee #1 was moving the cart by himself to position it for a crane lift when it tipped over, resulting in a compound fracture of his lower right leg. The cart was not properly loaded, nor was the load adequately secured.
