I am just wondering, what you guys and gals are doing for setting up your shop safety wise. Mostly I am wondering if I am a paranoid lunatic or not... For example, my shop is set up with...
#1. Big Sams Club industrial first aid kit. The kind meant for professional shops with all sorts of first aid stuff. I have it attached to the shop side of the door between the shop and the house.
#2. Kidde 3A 40BC fire extinguishers (2) currently moving place to place, trying to figure out the best location for them.
#3. First Alert Escape Light Smoke Detector / alarm.
#4. First Alert battery operated CO alarm.
#5. Shop Broom. No joke, keeping the shop clean, makes for a safer work environment.
#6. LOTS of shop lighting. Knowing where my fingers are in relation to blades is kind of important right?
#7. Dust masks, respirators, chemical gloves, latex gloves, leather work gloves, carpenters apron, chemical goggles, face shield, and ear muffs. Summarized as Personal Protective Equipment, or PPE.
#8. Sawdust Collection system / shop vac setup.
#9. Air Cleaner setup. (Filtrete filter duct taped to a box fan...).
#10. GFCI on all circuits feeding into the garage.
What are you folks using? Am I over the top here?
