The two safety precautions that must be followed are:

1. **Wear goggles at all times** - This protects your eyes from potential splashes or harmful fumes.

2. **Keep the area around the burner clear of papers** - This helps prevent any flammable materials from catching fire and reduces the risk of accidents.

The other options are not advisable for safety during such experiments. Long hair should be tied back to prevent it from coming into contact with the flame, and backpacks should ideally be kept away from the lab table to avoid clutter and potential hazards.
