While we were laying the concrete, we were occasionally kneeling on the wet concrete. Shaun was working on a particularly wet part and the concrete soaked through his knee pads (which are pretty much waterproof in normal usage). The concrete is quite alkaline and over time burned Shaun’s skin over his knee’s. He noticed they were feeling sore and I advised him to go and change clothes and wash off the concrete. He washed and changed and returned to work. At the end of the day it was obvious that he had burned knees quite badly.

We treated the burns with Alovera Gel and bandaged them.
