Summary Statement

Workers should all be wearing good fitting gloves and using eye protection. Longer handles on the bull float may reduce bending. Using a bull float with a rotating knuckle provides greater flexibility and can reduce fatigue. Warming up and stretching can also help reduce fatigue and on the job injuries. Walking in poured concrete is very stressful, structured inner soles can improve support, stability and balance. Cement can cause irritant/allergic contact dermatitis, alkaline burns, dry skin and/or irritation. Use good gloves, wash and dry hands when necessary. Remove work clothes before driving home, wash work clothes separately.
