Tetrahydrofuran is classified under several hazard categories and must be handled with appropriate care. It is identified as Acute Toxicity (Oral, Dermal, and Inhalation) Category 3, indicating it is toxic if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. It is also classified as Skin Corrosion/Irritation Category 2 and Eye Damage/Irritation Category 2A, meaning it can cause irritation to the skin and serious eye irritation.

In addition, Tetrahydrofuran is highly flammable, with a low flash point, and should always be stored and handled away from ignition sources with suitable protective equipment in place.
