Here's a video of me burning off the hydrogen with a torch.

Yes, it's flammable, but a match wouldn't ignite it and the torch only ignites it when you get real close. Imagine what a torch would do to a pile of plane shavings. It's all relative.

I used to work in an electro plating factory in the 70's and we used a similar idea for cleaning screws bolts etc before plating, but on a bigger scale of course we used barrels which turned in a caustic solution, the barrels were moved and lifted with an overhead crane.
Any way about being flammable the plating solution used to have a gas floating on the top of the solution which was taken away by fans however when the screws or whatever were plated you shut off the electricity and lifted the barrel to rinse, however if you forgot to shut of the juice Kaboom!!! a huge bang and flames, certainly woke you up on a Monday morning
