Protective GearPlasma is a dangerous entity. It is blessed with power huge enough to turn skin to shreds. Thus it becomes extremely important to guard yourself adequately. Use proper welding gloves, welding masks and welding helmets. While the gloves and helmet will protect you against any contact from the plasma or inert gas or electric arc, the mask will safeguard you from poisoning that might happen due to plasma. Sometimes metals and plasma react and result in a definite mixture which might be poisonous. Protective clothing thus becomes very important while dealing with such torch bodies.
