I was 19 and working for a reinforcing steel fabricator - Western Rolling Mills, which was a subsidiary of Allison Steel supplying steel for bridges, freeways, buildings, etc. They had started me on detailing easier jobs. At that time you had to write out each fabrication ticket for each group of steel that had to be cut & bent. I transposed a lot number with the number of pieces on one ticket. So the shop was cutting close to a thousand #9 bars about 8 ft. long with a bend on one end. The shear operator got suspicious after a few hundred and asked to have it checked, and I/we found out the mistake. That mistake at that time amounted to a few years of my pay. The company said that mistakes are made, but don't make another one like that. Needless to say "lesson learned."
