IMPORTANT: The extremely bright arc during welding may cause serious injury to the eyes if appropriate protective measures are not taken.

Use a special welding screen for the relevant welding process (MAG or MIG).
Partition off the work bays with beam protection screens.
Use a welding-emissions extractor facility.
The welder must wear protective clothing and gloves which are suitable for welding (i.e. flameproof).
A fire extinguisher must be located within reach of the welding area.
Do not carry out any welding work in the proximity of a fuel tank e.g. when it is installed.
Note national regulations.
