2.3 Other hazards
This product contains more than 1% Crystalline Silica (Quartz) and is considered a Crystalline Silica Substance as specified in Victoria's Occupational Health and Safety Amendment (Crystalline Silica) Regulations 2021, S.R. No. 137/2021. Some sensitized individuals may exhibit an allergic skin response upon exposure to Portland Cement due to the presence of trace levels of Hexavalent Chromium. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Prolonged exposure to Portland Cement in the wet form can cause serious, potentially irreversible skin or eye damage in the form of chemical burns. The same serious injury can occur if wet or moist skin or eyes have prolonged contact exposure to dry Portland Cement.
