Safety
There are many things happening in this room that could hurt bystanders as well as operators (fumes, blinding lights, noise). Always be vigilant when working in this room: alert any bystanders if your work could harm them, and be aware that other people may start doing hazardous work at any time. Metal will be hot after certain operations (welding, forging, turning); do not touch random metal that's lying around (especially on the welding table) unless you know it is safe (use an IR thermometer to check).
