The awareness of the effects of the hazardous cement / concrete dusts in Malaysia is lacking in the construction industry itself and also amongst the public. Concrete has been used since the first phase of the starting era in construction and is known as one of the most reliable construction materials. Despite the common usage of concrete, few people are aware of the hazards that it may cause to those who are exposed to it.The objectives of this study would help for a better understanding of this matter as it involves identifying the health effects of cement / concrete dusts exposure and to examine the level of awareness regarding this issue.
