WARNING: INJURIOUS TO EYES: CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION: READ
THIS WARNING BEFORE USING: CONTAINS PORTLAND CEMENT. |
|
Contact with wet, unhardened concrete, mortar, cement,
or cement mixtures can cause skin irritation, severe
chemical burns or serious eye damage. Avoid contact with
eyes |
|
and skin. Wear waterproof gloves, a fully buttoned,
long-sleeve shirt, full length trousers and
tight-fitting eye protection when working with these
materials. If you have to stand |
|
in wet concrete, use waterproof boots that are tight at
the top and high enough to keep concrete from flowing
into them. If you are finishing concrete, wear kneepads
to protect |
|
knees. Wash wet concrete, mortar, cement or cement
mixtures from your skin with fresh, clean water
immediately after contact. Indirect contact through your
clothing can be as |
|
serious as direct contact, so promptly rinse wet
concrete, mortar, cement or cement mixtures from
clothing. Seek immediate medical attention if you have
persistent or severe |
|
discomfort. In case of eye contact, flush with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician
immediately. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. USER AGREES |
|
TO CONVEY THIS WARNING TO ALL PERSONS WHOM MAY USE OR
COME IN CONTACT WITH WET (UNHARDENED) CONCRETE, MORTAR,
AND CEMENT OR |
|
CEMENT MIXTURES. |

CRYSTALLINE SILICA CARCINOGENIC POTENTIAL:
Concrete frequently contains crystalline silica in
concentrations greater than 0.1 percent, principally
contributed by the |
|
aggregates. Respirable crystalline silica is classified
by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a
known human carcinogen and by the National Toxicology
Program |
|
as "reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen".
Crystalline silica in wet concrete is not respirable and
does not pose a hazard when the concrete is in its
plastic or unhardened |
|
state. Once concrete has hardened, airborne dust
generated by grinding, sawing, drilling, breaking, etc.,
can lead to potentially hazardous exposures to workers
and appropriate |
|
respiratory protection precautions should be taken. |
