Abstract
-
Civil construction has great representation for the socioeconomic development of our country.
However, it is an activity that, if not carried out within the safety standards required by our
labor legislation, provides great trends for labor incidents. The present work aims to address the
risks inherent to the misuse of cement in the construction industry for the health of workers,
having seen, because cement is a chemical agent that can be inhaled through the respiratory
tract or, due to direct contact. with the skin and mucous membranes, and also, by oral intake,
provides the severe emergence of pathologies in the health of workers submitted to continuous
contact with it. Initially, it will be presented characteristics of this material, as well as some
examples of pathologies associated with the use of the product and, finally, emphasize the
importance of the use of safety and prevention measures capable of avoiding the referred
damages to the workers’ health. For this, we used the methodology of bibliographic research in
scientific sources already consecrated referring to the theme dissertated here that allow to prove
the theme treated here. Thus, with the conclusion of the subject, it is concluded that it is
necessary to use all necessary safety measures to ensure the development of the activity, but
