Don't have a checklist available but the need is justified due to the horrendous medical problems that can ensue from contact with cement follow http://www.neutralite.com/allergies.html for evidence. Not promoting their products by the way.

In extreme cases, there have been amputations - see the case of Kevin Broomfield of Astell Scientific (Holdings) Ltd, who lost a leg due to the burns he received after working kneeling in cement for several hours.

Allan,
You can find more information on this in the HSE Press Release 8 January 2004. It is going to be part of a blitz in the South of the country in March.
HSE home page>Whats New>Press Releases
The HSE Construction Information Sheet No 26 "Cement" may also be of use.
HSE home page>Whats new>Free leaflets>Construction>Cement
Hope that helps
Martyn
