I work for a company with a large welding department. I was amazed when I found out that the people tackwelding things together do not wear welding helmets. They use a tig welder gun, locate it, close their eyes and pull the trigger. Sometimes depending on what they are doing, they just shield themselves with their other gloved hand. I haven't heard of any problems with the eyes. I supervised the department 2 weeks before Christmas and 2 weeks after. I was surprised that I never had any symptoms. There is a lot of flash exposure to anyone in the area. The automatic seam welders can cause a great deal of sunburn to the full time operators. A few of them wear sunscreen on their faces.
