The hazards depend a great deal on:
what welding process? Many produce no UV, some produce no fume, some have no electrical hazard.
and, as pointed out by Chris42 - the material you are welding has a great effect. Welding lead is a completely different proposition from welding mild steel.
What is the question you seek to answer?

Trip hazard from the unit, is it near to a power supply?
Arc eye is an issue if the operators do not wear their eye protection. What about passers by, screens?
Manual handling, lifting the gas bottles into place. Lifting whatever they plan to weld...
Explosion hazard during the change over of bottles, where are the bottles being stored?
As it's stated already, there are many issues, some more significant than others.

All as above and loads of general guidance on the HSE website - the WL series includes guidance on the COSHH aspects - check out ... http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/guidance/wlseries.htmAlso some of the British Compressed Gas Association CoP's may apply i.e. CP7 for use of Oxy-Fuel sets plus PSSR if you have stored gases and manifolded systems. Ultimately will depend on application and specific risk assessment.
