Toolbox Talk: PPE: Wet Concrete

Details

• Corporate Authors:
  CPWR--The Center for Construction Research and Training
• Description:
  Wet concrete that is thoroughly and quickly washed off the skin will cause little irritation. But continuous contact between skin and wet concrete allows alkaline compounds to burn the skin. These exposures can lead to irritant or even contact dermatitis conditions such as stinging pain, itching, blisters, scabs, dead skin and swelling.
