No, in this case the proper safety procedures are not being followed. The lighted burner of the student next to Bubba is already hot since it was already lighting moments ago, if Bubba touches the burner to light up his own burner, then there is a chance that Bubba’s hand will be burned.

No. The proper safety procedure is not being enforced in this scenario. First of all, Bubba should already know the teacher's lecture on the correct and safe way to light the Bunsen burners in his/her class.
