Rebar Safety Caps

Rebar safety caps 

Cut rebar is very sharp so building code requires these caps.
Made of high impact plastic with a metal plate embedded in them.
Need to be OSHA compliant to guard against impalement..

Jackson Safety OSHA #3-7 from Sharpe Safety Supply

About $1.15 each with no min quantity and $11 shipping.

Some people say that when the rebar is horizontal you can get away with lower cost safety caps as there is less danger of falling on the protruding rebar.  Personally I think it's best to always use OSHA compliant, but the less expensive type are available from Lowes for $9.10 for 25. http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=194740-46086-714718&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3363616&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1    Made by "Steel Linx".
