“He had been trying to set a rebar form — which had just been released from a crane — into concrete when it toppled onto him,” Bove said. “The man was tied to the form and was near the top of it when one of the supports at the bottom gave way,” he said.
Another ironworker who was helping guide the rebar into place was not injured.
Construction on the new Microsoft office building began in late summer, Beaudoin said. Workers are in the midst of installing the rebar supports on a lower level of an underground garage.
