Ensuring Chemical Safety in Laboratories and Industries
Handling flammable and reactive compounds like methyl formate and methylene requires strict safety protocols:
- Protective Equipment: Workers must use gloves, safety goggles, and ventilated masks to avoid exposure.
- Storage Conditions: Methyl formate should be stored in airtight containers to prevent vapor release and contamination.
- Fire Hazard Prevention: Since CH₂ is highly reactive, industries must install fire suppression systems.
- Emergency Protocols: Quick response measures such as spill containment, neutralization, and first aid are critical.
