What safety equipment is in the shop and the race trailer?

Wear  safety  glasses.  I need magnifier  lens, so I buy safety glasses online with 2.0  bifocal lens.

 the cell phone is a good idea mentioned too..

This list came together pretty quickly, but I'm wondering if there are some "best practices" that larger shops and factories adhere to that might be practicable on a smaller scale.  Any thoughts?

Just a few items.

Fully Stocked (and non expired) First Aid Kit. With Pain Medicine, Burn Spray and Ointment, Anti bacterial ointments and spray, eye wash, eye patches, snake bite kit, basic bandages, tapes, medical pads, scissors, tweezers, knife/surgical scalpel. ace bandage, small splints. ice pack. etc..  I have one in truck, one in trailer and one in each shop.

2 Fire Bottles in Shop.. 1 at Door on one end of shop and one at Bench near welder and equipment.
Steel Cabinets for storing all aresol cleaners, paints, chemicals etc, glues,oils, fluids etc.
Sealed Oil Drum for all used fluids.
Broom and Dust Pan  and Mop,,( if you see it you might use it to keep floor clean and un cluttered)
Nice Shelving or Cabinets to keep tools, parts, etc,... off the floor.
Master Kill  Switch ( Breaker Switch) to kill power to shop.
If you have gas or propane heat.. make sure pilot light is at least 2 feet above floor and or  igniter has a fan to vent unit before it lights. (fuel/combustible vapors hug the floor,, big booms happen folks)
Good Lighting in the Shop.
Good Ventilation
Bottled Water, Sodas (beer for creative thinking) Keep Hydrated,, your brain needs fluids to operate too !

Wandering a little off this subject, but still safety related.
Keep a stash of food and drink in your vehicle, especially with our current weather.

And a couple cans of dog food. If you keep people food for an emergency, You might eat it. I would have to be awfully Dodge hungry to eat dog food.( not that I have`nt tried a bite)

You should expand your thinking to your daily driver.  My daughter is an EMT and insisted I needed a first aid kit IN the truck before a road trip a few years ago.  This thread got me thinking so I pulled it out and freshened up the kit, replacing anything that might have become damaged and updating some of the items with newer technology.  I've never needed to use the contents but it's comforting to know I have them just in case.  Now I should sit in on some of the classes she helps to teach to learn the best way to use the contents when a need arises.
