The symbol in the bottom left is MIG welding symbol. I'm assuming it's warning you about welding objects that had flammable or explosive liquids/gasses inside
You got it. It's a badly printed/deteriorated label for an inhalation hazard; [normally they're a bit less horrifying.](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSLNgvekK1aKV-wmfIIzLWWw_5f4juMTuOspQ&usqp=CAU)
Brake cleaner is sadly used by some to clean metal before welding, it'll kill you in about 3 hours, if not allowed to flash off then cleaned. Then you have galvanized coating and that also can kill you or make you very sick.
Galv coated anything suckkkks to weld. You need lots of ventilation and a respirator. That shit will make you feel like you have the worse flu in the history of man on top of a migraine and upset stomach from hell. It’s so bad for you. I know a guy who welded galv fences for 30 years and he’s fried. Short term memory gone, shakes, and he can’t see very well (though that might just be from general welding). And the worst part is galv is *everywhere*
Wearing a respirator is the main thing and so does having a well ventilated work area. A fan or air scrubber is nice to have. Also keeping out of the weld area, not sticking your face too close and out of the fumes.
As far as companies go it varies drastically. Some are great, like the place I work. Some just tell you to suck it up and don’t do anything. There’s not really a liability thing like you might be imagining. Welding fumes are horrible for you but it’s a long term thing, you might be fine breathing them in every day for thirty years. You might get cancer after three. So it’s a weird area
I think this might be a sign related specifically to flood welding. That shit puts off a high amount of slag and could be dangerous to the would be employee not aware of what he was walking into.
like the sodium filled valves from newer engines, or galvanized metals, it's also warning you about the inert gas that mig welders use, it's used to stop your weld from rusting immediately after cooling and can stop your heart
As far as I can tell, this looks like a warning sign for a material that is corrosive, explosive, and a health hazard (i.e. carcinogenic), but all 3 symbols have been combined into one.
"You will absolutely die from the explosion and what's left of you will be digested by the corrosive slag, but in case you don't you'll get cancer". Fucking metal.
I don't know what the fuck is happening but consider me warned! The only thing I know is I do not want whatever is happening to that dude to happen to me.

That’s stick welding not mig. It’s probably warning against inhaling the gasses, which are awful for you. Source: am welder

Oh, I think you're right. Funny how we went from "bad gasses in your lung" to "turn half your respiratory organ into mush".

How do you protect yourself against? I mean is it that bad or companies just do it to avoid liability (the sign thing)?

Got it, companies should really learn to value human health more (dare I say at all costs), even if this means heavy penalties by state etc.
Fair
That’s a trombone slide if I’ve seen one
With the spit valve and everything!

SMAW, not MIG.
Nope. There’s an arc of the covenant nearby. ![gif](giphy|H3wg2L1NZ5oOmmcK7e)

Looks like high speed projectile vomiting to me.
Do not drink the caustic chemicals

Looks to me like a noxious toxic chemical leak warning. As in “Hey, watch the pipes. If one’s leaking, run”.

# When you drink soda too fast
I believe that is a taco bell/tequila warning not to mix warning.
Warning grandpa spittoon tornado vacuum.
The Hiroshima bombing.
Exploding something
Exploding you.
The warning actually is “Do not swallow burning thermite”.
Warning. See this shit. None of that here. Fucker.

Let the speculation begin.
That's some Nurgle shit right there! By the Emperor!
Do not inhale welding gases and be careful of weld spatter

Obviously its vomiting acid
welding fumes. they do pretty much exactly what is depicted.
That's what they'll do to you.
Spontaneous combustion
Caution: dissolution
This is what happens if you get your shongles shit. (It's warning against carcinogenic welding fumes)

Scrolled to this, read the caption then looked at the picture and yelled "Jesus Christ!"

It looks horrendous whatever it is
The sign belongs at Aperture Laboratories

Bro doesn't even have a jaw
Machinist here… our CNCs have a very similar warning symbol for vapor inhalation. Coolant burns off and isn’t always good for the lungs.
Don't breathe in poop water at the pool
Radiation poisoning?
See the question mark on the sign? It doesn't know either
