exposed skin thoroughly after handling.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Shut off leaks if without risk. Adsorb spillages onto sand, earth or any suitable
adsorbent material. Transfer to a lidded container for disposal or recovery.
6.4 Reference to other sections
See Also Section 8, 13.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Although the lethal dose of methanol is high for most experimental animals, these data are not employed for classification. The
classification is only based upon the experiences in humans and classifies methanol as acutely toxic by oral, dermal and
inhalative exposure and, furthermore, as capable of inducing serious irreversible effects upon single exposure by all of these
routes. As a result, the substance is considered to be classified for acute toxicity category 3.
Skin corrosion/irritation Not classified.
Serious eye damage/irritation Not classified.
Skin sensitization data It is not a skin sensitiser.
Respiratory sensitization data Not classified.
Germ cell mutagenicity There is no evidence of mutagenic potential.
Carcinogenicity No evidence of carcinogenicity.
Reproductive toxicity No evidence of reproductive effects.

SECTION 4: 1.12 Guidance to DU to evaluate whether he works inside the boundaries set by the ES
4.1 Health
Where other Risk Management Measures/Operational Conditions are adopted, then users should ensure that risks are
managed to at least equivalent levels.
4.2 Environment
Guidance is based on assumed operating conditions which may not be applicable to all sites; thus, scaling could be necessary
to define appropriate site-specific risk management measures. If scaling reveals a condition of unsafe use, additional RMMs
or a site-specific chemical safety assessment is required.

SECTION 4: 1.12 Guidance to DU to evaluate whether he works inside the boundaries set by the ES
4.1 Health
Where other Risk Management Measures/Operational Conditions are adopted, then users should ensure that risks are
managed to at least equivalent levels.
4.2 Environment
Guidance is based on assumed operating conditions which may not be applicable to all sites; thus, scaling could be necessary
to define appropriate site-specific risk management measures. If scaling reveals a condition of unsafe use, additional RMMs
or a site-specific chemical safety assessment is required.
