HSE Reminder: Protrude Rebar

Steel reinforcing bars—rebar—are a common safety hazard on construc on sites. These steel
bars have the ability to cut, scratch, pierce, and impale workers, which can result in serious
internal injuries and death. In order to eliminate the hazard of impalement, rebar and other
projec ons on a worksite should be avoided, guarded or covered.

 Provide and maintain suitable and adequate safe access to and egress
from every place of work to avoid unnecessary admission to areas with
protruding rebars.
 Provide and ensure the use of suitable working platforms (e.g., those
with proper guard rails and toe-boards) to prevent accidental falls onto
the protruding rebars.
 Ensure good housekeeping, sufficient lighting, and non-slippery floors
on-site to prevent falling, tripping, or slipping of workers.
 Safeguard all projecting vertical ends of rebars to eliminate any
hazards to workers, e.g., provision of suitable rebar caps, which is the
most common practice or use bend rebar.

Note
 Drink much water. Stay Hydrated.
 Wear light-coloured, loose-fitting, breathable clothing such as cotton. Avoid
non-breathing synthetic clothing.
 Never rest under any vehicle or equipment
