Subject: vacuum filtration safety

Are there any safety consideration in using vacuum filtration (side-arm vacuum filtration Erlenmeyer flask with adaptor and Buchner funnel using the building vacuum line) without a trap?  Or is the trap's only purpose to collect back-flow from a water aspirator?
 
Thank you!
