Picture of the Week: Welding

It's always shocking to see construction workers in the Philippines not observing basic safety protocols like wearing closed toed shoes instead of slippers while on the job site. The most head scratching violators has to be welders who do not use welding helmets. Instead they wear sunglasses or nothing at all. Here is a welder I recently saw doing something rather stupid and unsafe.


He is not using a helmet or sunglasses to protect his eyes. Instead, he is holding up what looks like a broken phone screen to look through. How is it that these guys can afford the machine but not the proper equipment like a helmet so the machine can be safely operated?
