We report hazards associated with laboratory scale hydrogenations and the best practices for handling catalyst and hydrogen with three case studies. Fire, runaway reactions and explosions are commonly associated with hydrogenations due to the involvement of pyrophoric catalysts, hydrogen, flammable solvents and pressure. Laboratory hydrogenation methods as well as procedures to minimize hazards associated with catalyst and hydrogen are presented.
