(A tinfoil vest would be too cliche, and probably ineffective. And
copper foil or screen mesh would be a pain.)

One of the RF protective suits used by tower crews working with love
transmitters would probable do the job. The same for the suits used by
the folks fixing transmission lines from helis.

Both are probably far in excess of what is actually required though, and
just not wrapping the welding leads around your chest is probably
enough, though I doubt you'll get anyone with any authority to take that
stand due to paranoia.


Remember that all electric based welding is a spark-gap transmitter
spraying random RF Hash all over the EM spectrum, and it can only be
tuned and controlled so much.
