- C.
Wash it off immediately with water and Neutralite
Correct Answer
C. Wash it off immediately with water and NeutraliteExplanation
If your skin comes into contact with wet concrete while working around a pour, it is important to wash it off immediately with water and Neutralite. Wet concrete can cause skin irritation and chemical burns, so it is crucial to remove it from the skin as soon as possible. Neutralite is a substance that can help neutralize the alkaline properties of the concrete, reducing the risk of skin damage. By washing off the wet concrete and using Neutralite, you can minimize the potential harm to your skin.Rate this question:

All of the Above
Correct Answer
D. All of the AboveExplanation
Coming into contact with wet concrete can cause first-degree burns, second-degree burns, and even third-degree burns. Wet concrete contains a high amount of alkaline, which can cause a chemical burn on the skin. First-degree burns are superficial and cause redness and pain. Second-degree burns involve blisters and damage to deeper layers of the skin. Third-degree burns are the most severe, affecting all layers of the skin and potentially causing permanent damage. Therefore, all of the above options are correct as wet concrete can cause various degrees of burns depending on the duration and intensity of contact.Rate this question:
