Does a plasma cutter not produce as much UV as an arc welder? It would seem that if it does produce UV that the same full protection (skin) used for welding would still apply which to me would dictate a full helmet and skin coverings.

It is less, but full protection is always better (and recommended). I do use glasses or Jackson full face shield back and forth, but the more you have one the better of course, gloves, sleeves, etc..
