That's not exact:

Root account should NEVER been used in production environments. You
should use sudo instead.

I agree.  That is why I believe that if someone is using root account for something, it is probably for maintenance, or to fix a problem.  It may be that the person has root access for maintenance, but is not in the sudo users file, and doesn't have time to set it up for a one-time use.  

Apart of that, a welder also should know what he are doing while
managing soldering iron. But leaving things disordered in its
workspace is always a bad idea. Even when you know exactly what you
are doing.

I think the welder is the normal user.  It's more like root is a repair person, who is repairing the welder's equipment.  A welder shouldn't take the equipment apart, normally, but a repair person may need to, and knows what they are doing.  You don't want to disable the equipment in some way when he's working on it, as he may need it to be functioning normally to fix it.
