The two safety precautions that must be followed are:

  1. Keep the area around the burner clear of papers - This is important to prevent any flammable materials from igniting.

  2. Wear goggles at all times - Goggles protect your eyes from any potential splashes, sparks, or harmful fumes that may arise during the experiment.
