Have the right personal protective
equipment for the job.
• Concrete is made from lime, which is very
alkaline. If it stays on your skin long enough, it
will cause severe burns, and in extreme cases
the affected skin will simply fall off. Because
of this, always wear water resistant work boots
and gloves, and if you will be working IN the
concrete, wear water PROOF gloves and boots.
In either case, the boots should have steel toes.
There are boots made especially for concrete
work that will protect your feet from lime and
accidental impact (Figure 21).
• Falling objects on a job site are not
uncommon. Hard hats were made to protect
you from this hazard, but they only work if you
wear them.
• Safety goggles may very well keep you from
getting splashed concrete in your eyes.
• Snug fitting work clothes will help prevent
accidents involving moving parts.
• Concrete pumps may generate higher sound
pressure levels than O.S.H.A. allows for
constant exposure. You can protect yourself by
wearing hearing protection when on or near
the machine.
• When mixing your grout in the morning, or
anytime that there will be airborne cement or
other fine powder nearby, wear breathing
protection.
• Anytime that there is danger of ricocheted
rocks or sand (when shotcreting, for example),
wear a full face shield.
