Safety in catalysis involves multiple layers of precaution. Key measures include:
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wearing appropriate PPE such as gloves, goggles, lab coats, and sometimes respirators. - Ventilation: Ensuring proper ventilation in the lab to avoid inhalation of toxic fumes. - Chemical Storage: Storing chemicals properly to prevent reactions between incompatible substances. - Spill Response: Having clear procedures for dealing with spills and leaks, including the use of spill kits. - Training and Drills: Regular training sessions and emergency drills to prepare for potential accidents.
