sort of. The problem with arc welding is the UV light can cause eye damage. Camera sensors don’t pick up that UV light, so it’s safe to look at an image of welding. However, the light is still very bright. The image will be blown out right around the arc, so you can’t see where the arc is contacting. You can lower the exposure of the camera so that it is no longer blown out, but then everything else will be too dark to see. You can probably find a balance between too bright and blown out and too dark. However, our eyes are better at seeing broad ranges of light than camera sensors, so you’re probably better off with a helmet with visors to filter out the the harmful UV and block some of the brightness

Yes, if you make sure no light from the welding arc hits your eyes, even through reflection.

What is nocive is the ultraviolet light produced by the arc. The phone or camera display can’t produce that, so the image won’t harm your eyes.

it is safe for you but probably not so much for the camera. the sensor can get damaged from too intense light sources like lasers and probably arc welders too.
