First aid measures
Skin Contact
Remove contaminated shoes and clothing. Rinse affected area with large amounts of water followed by washing the area with soap and water. Contact medical attention if necessary.
Eye Contact
Immediately flush eyes, including under eyelids, with copious amount of water until victim is transported to an emergency medical facility. Contact a Physician immediately.
Inhalation
Move the victim to fresh air. If breathing is difficult give oxygen: if victim is not breathing, give artificial respiration. Contact medical attention if necessary.
Ingestion
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. If ingested, have the conscious victim drink 4-8 oz. of mild or water. Contact a Physician immediately.
Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically. Wet cement burns to skin or eye may result in corrosive caustic burns. Ingestion of significant amounts of cement dry or wet is unlikely. Do not induce emesis or perform gastric lavage. Neutralization with acidic agents is not advised because of increased risks of exothermic burns. Water-mineral oil soaks may aid in removing hardened cement from the skin. Ophthalmological opinion should be sought for ocular burns.
