What are the general safety precautions for handling catalysts?
When handling catalysts, it is crucial to follow general safety precautions to prevent accidents and injuries. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats. Ensure adequate ventilation in the workspace and avoid inhaling dust or fumes. Be well-versed in the material safety data sheets (MSDS) for each catalyst you work with, which provide critical information on hazards and safe handling practices.
