My rough understanding is that 1) electric shocks are caused by rapid movement of electrons through parts of our body and 2) ionizing radiation is damaging because it creates charged particles, including electrons, that can destructively impact molecules in our cells. How then does radiation damage medically differ from electric damage?

While it is not a shock to the body, the radiation emitted by the arc during welding is heavy in the ultraviolet range and will damage the skin and eyes.
