    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Dermatology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Chemical burns are a significant occupational hazard in construction.
    • Premixed concrete, a common building material, contains alkaline components that can cause skin injury.

    Observation:

    • Four male patients presented with severe burns after direct contact with premixed concrete.
    • The burns exhibited characteristics consistent with chemical injury.

    Findings:

    • The pathogenesis of premixed concrete burns involves alkaline hydrolysis of skin proteins.
    • Delayed presentation and inadequate initial treatment can exacerbate burn severity.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for enhanced safety protocols and protective gear in construction.
    • Emphasizes prompt medical evaluation and management for suspected chemical burns from cementitious materials.
