Safety data sheets by product

Concrete SDS

Concrete (also searched as concrete mix, bagged concrete, ready mix concrete) has no single safety data sheet. Each maker writes its own, and Section 2 of the sheet you hold decides what it sets off under OSHA. The employer keeps it readily accessible each shift (29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(8)). 3 official sheets are linked below.

Links checked Oct 21, 2026.

Why does the concrete SDS change with the brand?

The sheets we read differ on the skin class. The sheet from Quikrete for portland cement based concrete products, dated Feb 10, 2023, lists skin corrosion Category 1B, serious eye damage Category 1, skin sensitization Category 1B, carcinogenicity Category 1A and repeated-exposure organ toxicity Category 1. Sakrete's HS Concrete Mix sheet, revised Mar 9, 2022, lists skin irritation Category 2 in the place of skin corrosion. Rapid Set Concrete Mix lists H315, skin irritation, and H318, serious eye damage. On the Quikrete sheet the hazard-determining components are silica and portland cement.

The sheets below carry dates from Mar 9, 2022 to Feb 10, 2023.

The sheets name these substances, and each has its own chemical page: Portland Cement (CAS 65997-15-1), Crystalline Silica (CAS 14808-60-7).

What should I read first on my sheet?

Find the cement in Section 3 and the skin class in Section 2. Quikrete's sheet lists skin corrosion Category 1B, serious eye damage and a cancer class, and names silica and portland cement as the hazard-determining components. Sakrete's lists skin irritation in place of corrosion. A corrosion or eye damage class brings drenching and flushing. A bag of plain portland cement has a different sheet from a bag of mix.

More for concrete

Finding the concrete sheet is the easy part

Keeping every sheet read, current and ready for an inspector is the work that never ends. HazComFast does it with your crew: the AI extracts each sheet, and every reading leaves a proof.

Extraction: the AI reads every sheet

Scanned, long or in Spanish, it reads

Drop in the concrete sheet, scanned or not, in English or Spanish. HazComFast reads every page, with progress shown page by page, so a 32-page sheet gets read to the last page.

Every section a foreman needs

Composition, spill response, storage, physical properties, stability and toxicology land on the product page with their source, so the sections a foreman actually needs aren't buried in a PDF.

The AI proposes, a person signs off

Each hazard shows where it came from: extracted from the sheet, or confirmed by a named person on a date. Confidence is measured against the text of the sheet, and below a floor every field is checked by hand before it saves.

A pictogram is never guessed

A pictogram only goes on your label if it's actually on the sheet or follows from its H-codes. H225 on the sheet means GHS02 and DANGER on the label, derived from OSHA's Appendix C.

Checked against 200 real sheets

Every change to the AI is checked against a reference set of 200 real SDSs before it ships. A field it isn't sure about is highlighted for you to check, and the inventory flags products whose extraction hasn't been validated yet.

Proof of reading, without the chasing

Nobody has to remember to ask

Add a hazardous product to a site and every worker there gets one notice with a 7-day due date. A reminder follows at day 3 and an escalation at day 7.

“I read it” can't be a reflex tap

The confirm button stays grey until the worker has scrolled through first aid or to the last page of the PDF and has spent 15 seconds there. The record keeps how long and how far.

A proof of reading the worker keeps

The worker ticks an attestation, and the record keeps which SDS version they read, the server time and the device. They can download their own PDF of it.

A new sheet means a new reading

When a manufacturer updates a sheet and the hazards change, everyone who confirmed the old one is asked to read the new one. Each confirmation keeps which version they read, for which jobsite.

Who read what, in one console

See who hasn't read what, nudge everyone overdue in one click, and export last month's confirmations for one jobsite, each with the SDS version they read.

The reading joins the training file

Each confirmed reading also lands in the worker's training file as a HazCom reading record, so your training records and your SDS records tell the same story.

From the sheet to the label

A label that can't go out empty

A label with five pictograms keeps all five, because the format switches. A label with no hazard information won't print. When the sheet changes, you get a relabeling task with its six-month deadline.

English and Spanish, side by side

Hazard and precautionary statements show in English and Spanish on every product page. A Spanish sheet that says PELIGRO is recorded as DANGER, and the original file stays attached as you received it.

Every print on record

Every print run is logged with exactly what went on the labels. When a hazard changes, the relabel task can only be closed by a print made after the change.

In the field, on the phone

Scan the drum

Scan the QR code on a drum and the page shows the maker and the CAS number under the title, so you know you hold the right one. A drum taken out of inventory still opens its SDS, marked as removed.

Search inside the sheet

Type “eye contact” and you land on first aid. Pinch to zoom on the small print.

Still there with no signal

Offline, the worker opens the sheet itself, with first aid and what to do in a spill. “Available offline” only shows when the PDF is on the phone.

When the inspector asks

The binder, in one click

One click gives you the jobsite's SDS binder, with concrete in it, as a ZIP with a CSV index, and a dated CSV or PDF of who confirmed reading what. That is what you hand an inspector or a GC.

No expired-sheet myth

HazComFast never tells you a sheet has expired, because OSHA doesn't set an expiration date. You choose your own review interval, and the app labels it as your internal policy.

The chemical list behind it

Bring your spreadsheet

Imported products get the same pictograms as ones entered by hand, and importing the same file twice doesn't duplicate anything.

Each product, at every site

Each product page shows every site it's stored at with quantities, and warns you if something incompatible is stored at the same site.

A program that stays true

The chemical list in your HazCom program is built from each jobsite's inventory. Remove a product and the program tells you the list is out of date, with a button to rebuild it.

Questions about concrete

Why do concrete sheets list a cancer class?

The sheets name crystalline silica, which is present in sand and in the dust from cutting, grinding or drilling cured concrete. Quikrete's sheet lists carcinogenicity Category 1A and gives silica as a hazard-determining component. The silica rules for construction are on the silica page of this site.

Which sheet covers a bag of portland cement without sand or gravel?

Portland cement has its own sheets. Quikrete and Sakrete each publish one, and both are listed on the portland cement chemical page of this site.
