Am I In Danger?
Unguarded protruding steel reinforcing bars are hazardous. Even if you just
stumble onto an unguarded rebar you can impale yourself, resulting
in serious internal injuries or death. View
Rebar Accident
How Do I Avoid Hazards?
- Guard all protruding ends of steel rebar with rebar caps or wooden troughs, or
- Bend rebar so exposed ends are no longer upright.
- When employees are working at any height above exposed rebar, fall
protection/ prevention is the first line of defense against impalement.
Rebar Caps
|
These rebar should be bent over or protected with caps so that a worker would not
be injured by falling on them.
