What are the risks of using a Bunsen burner?

Answer 1

Bunsen burners are quite safe. Obviously you need to light them as soon as you turn

on the gas. You need to keep the air vent clean and be sure the gas line does not

leak. Of course, do not let the flame near anything that will burn, including your fingers.

Answer 2

The main risks of using a Bunsen burner include potential burns from the flame, accidental fires if nearby flammable materials ignite, and the release of harmful gases if the burner is not properly connected to a fume hood or ventilation system. Additionally, there is a risk of explosion if the gas supply is not properly regulated. Proper training and supervision are essential to mitigate these risks.
