Why Does Cement Burn?
Cement burns are chemical burns, rather than heat-related injuries. When cement is mixed with water, an extremely caustic alkaline compound known as calcium hydroxide is formed. When it comes in contact with skin, this compound produces burns that gradually grow worse over time, even without continued exposure. The abrasive and moisture-absorbing qualities of cement aggravate an already serious construction accident injury.
Cement Burn Symptoms
The effects of such chemical burns are not immediately obvious, making it easy for construction workers to underestimate the dangers of wet cement. By the time injuries are apparent and a lawyer from Locks law is called, serious damage has usually already occurred.
Symptoms of cement burns include darkening skin that gradually turns a deep purple or blue. Inflammation, severe blisters, and allergic dermatitis are also possible. In the worst cases, a seemingly minor construction accident may require amputation.
