You have to be wearing safety goggles and apron or lab coat, and no loose fitting clothes. Do not wear cloths that are made of synthetics that easily catch fire. Cotton and wool are preferred materials for clothing.
Check the rubber tubing for rips and tears and replace if there are any. Know where the nearest fire extinguisher is. Know where the safety shower is and how to use it. Don't fool around.

What safety precautions should you take when using a Bunsen burner?
Bunsen burners are a fire hazard and should not be left unattended. However, accidents can occur even when the burner is off. Check the tubing connecting the gas line to the burner to be certain there are no cracks and it is secure. If the tubing is dislodged and the gas line valve is not off, gas will fill the room creating a potential explosion situation. This has happened. There are safer alternatives to the classic Bunsen burner. A Flame Boy or a Touch-o-matic burner eliminates the issue of a constant flame. A bacticinerator can be used to sterilize plating loops. There are also glass bead sterilizers that may be used.
