Why is it important to place a kettle with the lid opening away from the work area?

Placing a kettle with the lid opening away from the work area is crucial for minimizing exposure to potential fumes. When the lid faces towards the work area, it can direct hazardous emissions such as vapors and fumes into the area where workers are present, increasing the risk of respiratory issues or other health hazards. Orientation away from the work area helps to ensure that these fumes disperse safely into the atmosphere rather than being trapped and inhaled by those working nearby. Additionally, this practice enhances safety measures by reducing the chance that operators will come into contact with any hot or potentially dangerous materials that may escape from the kettle.
