Therefore‚ if cement is left on the skin throughout the working day‚ rather than being washed off at intervals‚ the risk of contact sensitisation to hexavalent chromium will be increased.

Anyone who uses cement (or anything containing cement‚ such as mortar‚ plaster and concrete) or is responsible for managing its use should be aware that it presents
