Narrative

An employee was moving three bundles of rebar, each weighing approximately 20 pounds. The employee carried the bundles over to the work area using his right hand to hold the bundles on his left shoulder. One of the bundles had been "candy caned" (a process used to prevent impalement by bending the rebar in a hook shape), and the hook shape was facing towards the front of the bundle. While tossing the rebar down to the work area, the rebar struck the back of his head, causing a brain bleed and a concussion.
