    This document provides a chemical health risk assessment for methanol. Methanol is highly flammable, toxic if swallowed, in contact with skin, or inhaled. It causes damage to organs. The hazard rating for methanol is HR4, indicating great care is necessary when handling. Methanol is very toxic, corrosive, and dangerous of cumulative effects. Personal protective equipment like a lab coat, eye protection, nitrile gloves, and respirator are required when working with methanol. Proper storage and disposal methods and measures for accidental spills and leaks are also needed.

    Methanol is highly flammable and toxic if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It can cause damage to organs and has sensitizing, irritating and corrosive properties.

    Methanol is rated as HR2 (can be carried out on open bench with caution) and is flammable, irritating, sensitizing and harmful. Exposure can be toxic, corrosive or cause cumulative effects.

    Personal protective equipment recommended includes a lab coat, eye protection, nitrile gloves and a respirator when there is a risk of inhalation or skin contact.
