Summary Statement

Working in an awkward posture can cause arm and/or shoulder pain. Maintain a comfortable working posture. Avoid over reaching, move closer to the work area. Taking mini breaks (a few seconds) and stretching during the day can help relieve muscle strain. Cement can cause irritant/allergic contact dermatitis, alkaline burns, and dry skin or irritation. Use proper gloves, wash and dry hands when necessary. Do not bring cement dust home; remove work clothes before leaving the work site. Work clothes should be laundered separately.
