Is that an OSHA approved hand over the face to keep from breathing the poisonous gas?

I’m kind of surprised it’s not hot enough to boil off all the water in that little bucket pretty quickly, bit obviously it isn’t.

What surprises me is no way to carry the bucket away afterward; You would have to put your hand over the bucket. Gloved or not, it does not seem very safe.
If it really is just getting the lava down to boiling water temperature, or even a bit higher, that thin metal handle will dissipate that heat pretty quickly. A glove should be fine.
