To mitigate the risks associated with skin contact in catalysis, several precautions should be taken:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE such as gloves, lab coats, and safety goggles when handling catalysts. Proper Handling Techniques: Use tools and instruments to handle catalysts whenever possible to minimize direct contact. Good Laboratory Practices (GLP): Follow established protocols for the safe handling and disposal of catalysts to prevent accidental exposure. Emergency Procedures: Be familiar with first-aid measures and emergency procedures in case of accidental skin contact.
