Bad Practice
This image shows an example of an unsafe work practice.
Summary Statement
Tying rebar by hand requires workers to assume very stressful work positions, resulting in stress on the back, arms and wrist. Tying rebar with pliers and tie wire can result in hand and wrist injuries. A rebar tying tool that reduces the possibility of an injury due to the physical stress from tying rebar has been developed.
