Safety is paramount in catalysis experiments, particularly when dealing with high temperatures, pressures, or hazardous chemicals:
Risk Assessment: Conduct a thorough risk assessment before starting any experiment. Identify potential hazards and implement control measures. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, goggles, and lab coats. Proper Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent the buildup of toxic gases or vapors. Emergency Procedures: Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures, including the use of safety showers, eye wash stations, and fire extinguishers.
