Methanol Institute's Commitment to Safety

Whether working with a biodiesel plant manager in Germany, a tanker truck driver at a chemical distribution warehouse in Algeria, a shipping terminal manager in China, or a wastewater treatment plant operator in the United States, MI and our members are committed to promoting the safe handling of methanol in order to protect your health and that of your co-workers, your workplace, your community and our shared environment.
All of MI’s safe handling materials are available free of charge to the public.  Please download and share our updated Methanol Safe Handling Manual, and be sure to watch our Methanol Safe Handling Video.  In addition to these resources, we also have a large variety of technical bulletins available on issues ranging from methanol storage and transportation to materials compatibility.
