I don't have the specifics but it (actually they) are for 25 man crews and I have to replace perishable items every year.

OSHA requires companies that perform hazardous work to maintain these in the event of an accident.

I always hope they never need to be used...here is a link to a similar kit.

I keep a band-aid in my wallet. Everyone should have a first aid kit though. Allows you to lend assistance to others in case of an accident of some sort as well as to yourself.

5% Boric acid eye drop solution - for when I get caustics/bleach into my eyes.

Thats a good idea Dan, I usually just stand there and let my eyes water and complain about getting it in my eyes, Ha,Ha.

A fire extinguisher. Mounted one into the truck this Spring. Don't want the truck or anyone to candle due to infrequent linseed oil use.

That is something everyone should do. I had an issue a few years ago with some electricity at a receptacle. The receptacle looked good and sound, but water got in behind it and cracked and popped and actually ignited I saw a small flame and the vinyl siding bot blackened before it went out on its own. But that was a pretty crappy feeling seeing those flames. I was so glad they went out and I went into the home and hit the breaker and informed the customer that possibly even rain could cause that if blown in.

Had a fire extinguisher ever since.
