Just wanted to remind eveyone doing demo work with concrete to be very careful around rebar. I know you are all professionals and are more aware of this problem than I am but because of an accident at my site I wanted to remind you.
A crew with an excavator and dozer were tearing down my aunt's old house. The excavator was digging up the footing and a dozer was pusing up the concrete in a pile. The dozer operator with 30 years experience had a section of rebar pop up and go through his leg just above the ankle. It did not hit bone or major blood vessels and the emergency room fixed him up and he was back at work the next day. Had he been hit someplace besides the leg this could have been tragic.
Keep your guard up.
