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.
