Is it safe for dogs to occasionally swallow the pieces of rubber chew bones/toys? If it is dangerous, what precautions should we take?

No, it is not safe! The pieces can cause a blockage in the intestinal tact. You might try something harder, such as a Nylabone, if your dog is an overly-enthusiastic chewer. Another possibility is to have the dogs chew only when you are present--so you can monitor the toys frequently for any signs of pieces coming loose.
