stupid me looked at welding for a second

I weld every day and have had no problems in the last 6 years that I've been at this job.

That includes tacking when fitting stuff up. Don't know how many times I've flashed myself when tacking at just the distance from my hand to my face.....that includes multiple times during a given day, lol. Also, that's with 6 other guys all within 60 ft of eachother tacking and welding at any time. And that's not with any little 110 welders, all 3 phase on 408 volt plugs! Usually welding in the 26-28 volt range or more close to the 230-300 amp range.

Usually when flashing myself I just close my eyes for about 10 seconds or so and am a little blinded but goes away within a minute.

Never had to put anything in my eyes or on my eyes, guess I've gotten lucky!
