Is welding electrode hazardous?

Only in the fact that it can blind viewers and sparks will fly and hit the welder. The blindness is temporary and only slightly painful, but can be avoided by a welding mask or eye protection of equal value. Many sparks will bounce off without pain, but some will sting slightly. This is why boots or tennis shoes and a welding apron should be worn during welding. Finally, the last word of caution is one of common sense. Do not touch the hot material or attempt to touch the electrode during or shortly after it is hot. Use a pair of pliers on hot materials being welded.
