The health and safety of our employees, contractors and visitors is a primary objective at Methanex. We believe that all injuries are preventable, with that in mind, we continually drive to improve our health and safety management systems at all company locations. If an incident does occur, a corporate-wide incident reporting system enables employees to share information about what happened and why, and take corrective measures to prevent a recurrence.

Methanex voluntarily shares recordable injury data with the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (CIAC) and participates in SHARE (Safety and Health Analysis, Recognition and Exchange), which allows member companies to compare their injury and illness performance with chemical industry averages and compare health and safety best practices. Companies classify on-the-job injury and illness experience using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Guidelines, a well-accepted North American standard.

Methanex provides technical information and safety data sheets to address important aspects of methanol handling and usage.
