It is important to avoid losses in the environment, contamination, poisoning of workers, thefts.
Cyanide poisoning occurs because cyanide inhibits the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which is one of the enzymes that enable cells to use oxygen. Antidotes for cyanide poisoning tend to focus on binding the cyanide ion so that this inhibition stops. The liver is capable of metabolizing cyanide as well, to take care of any small residual amounts remaining.There are several ways to accomplish this. Nitrites and/or 4-dimethylaminophenol both convert hemoglobin to methemoglobin, which binds tightly with cyanide. This causes problems of its own, though ... methemoglobin cannot carry oxygen, and it's necessary to convert a lot of hemoglobin to methemoglobin to be sure there's an excess to bind all the cyanide, which leaves the person treated with methemoglobinemia ... which then must be treated separately (usually by treatment with methylene blue). Thiosulfates react with cyanide to convert it to thiocyanide, which is much less toxic. However, the reaction does not occur quickly in the body, so this treatment must be supplemented with one of the others (usually nitrates/4-DMAP). Cyanide is present in one form of vitamin B12, so treatment with the cyanideless form hydroxocobalamin will bind cyanide in the harmless cyanocobalamin. Cobalt ions in general will bind cyanide, but cyanocobalt complexes are themselves generally toxic, so this is not necessarily much of an improvement. It is fast, though, and is sometimes used (in the form of the dicobalt EDTA complex) in cases of severe cyanide poisoning. Administration with glucose helps mitigate the toxic effects of the cyanocobalt complexes.
When handling battery acid, wear protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat to prevent skin contact and inhalation of fumes. Work in a well-ventilated area and have a neutralizing agent like baking soda nearby in case of spills. When handling silver cyanide, use a fume hood to prevent inhalation of toxic cyanide gas and wear appropriate personal protective equipment to protect against skin contact. Always follow proper handling and disposal procedures as outlined in a Material Safety Data Sheet.

This depends on the specific reaction involved.
AnswerIndustrially, cyanide is used in addition of carbon to certain organic compounds and in gold ore processing. In society, it has been used as a form of execution (the gas chamber).
When working with cyanide, technologists must always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. They should also work in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to cyanide fumes and ensure that all containers are properly labeled and securely closed when not in use. In case of accidental exposure, they must be familiar with the appropriate emergency procedures and have access to emergency eyewash and shower facilities.

Maybe but you must take precautions
The following precautions must be observed by airline passengers during take off: passengers must be aware of the exits, how to put on the oxygen masks and other in case of emergency precautions, when they can move about and socialise.

Take normal safety precautions and be careful not to spill it on the ground. Cats and dogs seem to like it's taste, but it's VERY poisonous to them.
Yes there is cyanide in apple seeds but it would take many to kill you.
If you detect an almond smell in gas, it could indicate the presence of a harmful gas called hydrogen cyanide. Safety precautions to take include leaving the area immediately, avoiding inhaling the gas, and contacting emergency services for assistance.
Ensure you have the right measurment and the calculations are correct
