Storage of Bagged Cement 

• Cement should be stored in a weatherproof shed or container 
• It should be closely packed, away from doors and windows 
• It should be packed off the floor, and on plastic 
• It should be covered with a plastic sheet or tarpaulin 
• It should be stored so as to ensure "first in - first out" use 

Safety 

• Do not stack bags more than 12 units high 
• Do not stack more than two pallets high 
• Pick up bags correctly to avoid injury 
• Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Cement and cement paste are highly alkaline and chemical burns may occur
