Caution
General protective and hygienic measures: wash hands before breaks and at the end of work
Breathing equipment: use suitable respiratory protective device in case of insufficient ventilation
Protection of hands: heat protection gloves

Provide protective screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others
As a rule of thumb, start with a shade that is too dark to see the weld zone
Then go the next lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone
