Unprotected Steel Rebars Can Cause Construction Fatalities
Posted on August 06, 2011 by Ronald Todd
Unguarded Steel Rebars are Construction Site Hazards
Unprotected and protruding steel reinforcing rebars are dangerous. Workers can be impaled by the rebars whether it involves falls from height or just stumbling onto the rebar. Injuries that can result include serious internal injuries and death.
Prevention of Rebar Construction Accidents
- Protruding ends of steel rebar must be protected with rebar caps or wooden troughs
- Bend all exposed rebar over
- Fall protection must be used to prevent falls from height onto the exposed rebar
- Follow OSHA standards under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart Q, 29 CFR 1926.701
