An employee pulling a concrete hose along a form fell two stories and hit his head on steel rebars which punctured his brain. A laborer fell through a roof opening about 8 feet to a patio foundation that had about 20 half-inch rebars protruding straight up. The laborer was impaled by one of the bars and died. eTools Home : Construction Users Guide | Glossary | Bibliography | Viewing / Printing Inst. | Credits
