Every day, thousands of tons of concrete are poured in factories and construction sites across the world. It’s not hard to see why the concrete business is important. It’s a huge industry. There are lots of concrete companies and they’re all busy making money. It’s a safe bet that any one of them is concerned about making money, and so they all have to be concerned about safety and cleanliness.

But there is an area where this situation goes wrong: safety, cleanliness and health in the concrete business. It’s not hard to see why this happens: after all, there are only a few companies in the whole concrete industry, and they all have to worry about cleanliness and health, so it stands to reason that if one company isn’t doing its job, then all of them must be doing terribly.

But it turns out that this isn’t true at all. There are many different kinds of companies working on different kinds of problems. Each company has its own special skills and techniques for dealing with safety, cleanliness and health issues; nobody else can do it as well or as quickly as they can. The whole problem may not be important enough for anyone else to worry about it; if it isn’t important enough for you, then maybe you should

This guide is designed to help the concrete-finishing industry stay clean, safe, and healthy. It will also help you understand how to use your new concrete-finishing tools safely.

The first section describes the basic tools and materials needed for a job, as well as how to work safely with them.

The second section outlines common construction problems in order to show why cleaning should be part of the project from start to finish.

The third section discusses the hazards associated with cleaning concrete floors and walls, discussing these hazards in detail so that the reader is aware of any safety problems and can avoid them.

The fourth section explains how to use various tools and equipment to clean wood surfaces, both bare wood and finished wood floors.

The fifth section discusses how to perform different types of surface treatment for wood surfaces: stain, sealer, and paint.

The sixth section covers common problem areas on concrete floors and walls, covering topics such as toilet bowl leaks, cracks in concrete slabs, stalls in public toilets, wet or stained concrete floors due to failure of floor drains (toilets), stains on concrete slabs, water stains on subfloors that leak onto or under shower stalls or other baths, floor drains failing in bathrooms or other places where water gathers

Cement finishers are the people who mix and apply concrete to a building. A good cement finisher is a vital part of the construction process: If a person isn’t careful, it is easy to make mistakes that can lead to serious problems.

This guide contains information you will need to know if you have decided to make your living mixing concrete. It’s not just for finishers, either. It’s for anyone who ever has to handle concrete: cement masons, brick layers, tile setters and tile installers, or anyone else who has responsibility for applying it to a building.

In the concrete business, “concrete finisher” is not a job title. It is a lifestyle choice.

Like many choices in the concrete business, it can be traced back to one man, who was also a concrete finisher.

Years ago, when I was first thinking about becoming a concrete finisher, I had the idea that a “finisher” was someone who used clear epoxy resin to seal and finish the edges of poured concrete forms after they cured.

I called my uncle for advice on this matter; he’s an expert on such things. He told me: “You’re thinking of the wrong thing.” He explained that the “finisher” did not handle epoxy resin. The epoxy resin was handled by the “concrete finisher.” This is why there are two jobs with different titles.

A concrete finisher is a person who mixes and dries concrete, or places small stones or decorative objects into it.

If you have ever driven the wrong way down a one-way street, you have seen the improvised signs that are sometimes placed in the front of a truck to warn others. They say things like “Beware of dog” or “Wrong way”.

Similarly an experienced concrete finisher will often place a sign in the front of his truck saying “Good Luck!” to warn other people away from his work.

Concrete finishers are people who make it possible for concrete to form properly.

If you’re a finisher, you have more education and fewer disabilities than the average American worker; yet you earn less and are less likely to be promoted. There is a direct correlation between the cost of your tools and the lack of promotion you get. For example, an air-powered tool costs about $2,000, but this is not a cost that can be passed on in the price of a job bid. And since most finishers are paid piece-work by the hour, their income is vulnerable to fluctuations in work.

Masonry finishers find their own tools, but concrete finishers have to buy theirs because they don’t have jobs producing them. If they purchase their tools, they will get training at half the cost of buying. In addition they can take advantage of government-sponsored training programs that offer classes and materials at little or no cost.

The concrete floor you are working on is covered with a plastic film. It’s called a lamination. It looks like a thick sheet of plastic, but is actually a thin film of plastic stretched over a metal frame. It keeps the concrete moist and provides an excellent seal for your trowel to hold water inside the mix.

You get good performance from this film, but it has its drawbacks: 1) it’s easy to cut, so the films can be damaged; 2) when you cut below the surface, your blade can go through the film and into the concrete; 3) if you use too much water when mixing concrete, water will leak out between layers of the film and dilute your concrete; 4) the films can crack, causing them to tear or become brittle and fall apart; 5) if you use too much water when cleaning up after pouring your concrete, not enough water will remain in the mix; 6) using too much water when cleaning up will weaken the bond between your concrete and your work surface.

Using too much water may weaken the bond between your concrete and work surface; weak bond is dangerous.

To avoid these problems, you need to know how to clean up properly after pouring.
