The simplest safety precaution is to pour acid into water and NOT water into strong acids. In case of splash up one is protected by pouring acid into water as what is splashed up will be mostly water while the converse would splash up strong acid onto you.

Other considerations are strong endothermic reactions when pouring these reagents.
