it's to prevent a strike-back
You would turn the collar on a Bunsen Burner so that the holes are exposing the flame to more oxygen to produce a blue flame. Close the holes by turning the collar to turn it back to the yellow (dirty) flame.
The bunsen burner is very hot and you may burn yourself. Wait for it to cool down and then light it again

It occurs when you did not fully close the air-hole on lighting up your Bunsen burner. Flames are observed to be green and it also produces a soot. Therefore we should immediately turn off the gas supply as the unburnt gas would fill the air, making the room flammable.

When strike back occurs, the first thing that one must do is backup to avoid getting burned or seriously injured. After it subsides, the person should close the burner and switch off the gas cock.
- Never leave the gas on when the flame is out- never put anything you don't intend to heat- ensure the tube is arranged properly as if it is turning here and there, the gas might just be stucked somewhere and there will not be any fire burning- never touch the collar(the neck) as it is very hot and when it strikes back at the gashole, off the gas immediately.
You should tie your back if you have long hair, make sure that the bunsen burner is standing up nice and sturdy and turn it off after using.
