Employee dies when impaled in fall from scaffold

At approximately 9:00 a.m. on February 28, 1994, a laborer was supplying mortar and bricks to a mason, when he noticed Employee #1 falling approximately 12 ft off a scaffold's 2nd level walk board. His body was impaled on some #5 rebar (4 ft in height), and he was killed. The rebar had hard plastic mushroom protectors that were perforated when the employee's body struck the rebar ends. No guardrails were provided at the end of the scaffold walk board's planking.
