One wears protective gear. This was Union Work and you can be sure they had the most practical safety gear possible. It's like being a welder, I get burned all the time by things that get past the protection but if I did not have any protection I would have become unable to work in my first month of school 35 years ago. They would not have survived a pour engulf them but safety gear would prevent most burns and limit the damage on big splashes.

Several thousand years ago when smelting copper south & east of what became Jerusalem they used the earth as a mold. Over time pouring the molten metal out on the ground and guiding it to molds developed into this. Well that]s my theory.
