Safety procedures for an astronomer depend on what kind of astronomy he/she does and where the work is performed.
Some astronomers work directly on telescopes on mountain tops and the like. Their safety procedures involve getting safely to and from the observatory (perhaps over poor roads through remote areas), taking care to avoid becoming caught in the moving parts of the machinery that aims the telescope, and dressing warmly enough on nights when they need to be hands-on in the unheated observatory. They may also be involved in developing photographic plates (less often now than in the past) so all safety precautions associated with black and white Photography labs may apply.
Some astronomers work with radio telescopes and other electronic equipment. Then the standard safety precautions for working with electricity may apply.
Some are theoretical astronomers, working in their offices on data provided by others. Their safety precautions are those associated with using computers safely, and with the general issues of safety in any office environment.
