The FDA warns against using hand sanitizer containing toxic methanol.

The FDA has seen a sharp increase in hand sanitizer products that are labeled to contain ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol) but that have tested positive for methanol contamination.

"We wanted to update all of you about what to do if you or someone you know show symptoms of the COVID-19 illness."

You can prevent burns by allowing alcohol-based sanitizers to dry/evaporate before resuming work activity.

Hand sanitizers contain high concentrations of alcohol and alcohol vapors can flame or flash if exposed to an ignition source, switches, or any surface containing static electricity.

The California Fire Code has specific requirements when it comes to placing hand-sanitizer dispensers inside or outside a facility.

UC Davis Fire Prevention Services is available to assist with ensuring hand-sanitizer dispensers are installed in a code-compliant manner in rooms and corridors. 

Travel restrictions, stay-home orders, and suspended campus operations are altering field work and outdoor coursework plans for the coming season. While it may be tempting to physically isolate in a wilderness setting, there are currently additional risks associated with remote work.
