Anecdote of one but...

Have an uncle who is / was (recently retired) a welder. He worked everywhere, did all sorts of welding, and even got certified to do underwater stuff -- which he did for 2 years and GTFO out of as soon as he made enough $$$$

He got skin cancer on his next and on his right elbow. Cuz that's where the gloves and other PPE clothing had gaps, esp. when he leaned certain ways or use his right hand to move the torch.
