If the damp, wet cement comes in to contact with the skin or eyes, it may cause serious burns or ulceration’s. Eyes are very vulnerable and damage to the eyes will increase with contact time. High alkaline solutions in contact with the skin tend to damage nerve endings first before damaging the skin, therefore, chemical burns develop without pain being felt at the time.
4. First Aid. Eyes: Wash eyes immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 20 minutes and seek urgent medical advice without delay. To avoid permanent damage to eyes, a quick response is essential.
   Skin: Wash the skin area that came in contact with the concrete/mortar with mild soap and water before continuing work. If pain or irritation persists, seek medical advice. Wet concrete/mortar on clothing should be removed and washed before using again.

   Inhalation: If you breathe cement dust, move to an area of fresh air. If nose or throat airways become inflamed, seek medical advice.
