Abstract: A reinforcing bar protection cap for location over the exposed end of a concrete reinforcing bar so as to protect against injury to workers. The cap includes a load spreading cap with a metal reinforcing disc, a support portion comprising a generally cylindrical housing, the load spreading cap closing the inner end of the housing. Three generally radial retaining webs engage with the reinforcing bar to locate and retain the cap at the end of the bar. The radial outer edges of the webs are generally parallel to the axis of the cylindrical body and define hinging or flexing lines for the respective webs whereby the retaining webs contact the reinforcing bar along respective lines of contact extending axially along the bar. The retaining webs are mounted to the cylindrical body only and are not connected to the load spreading cap.
