[hackerspaces] first aid

[Sam Ley]

Great booklet and list for a basic first aid kit, thanks for sharing! I
also appreciate the brief reminders on scene assessment and proper use of
the various materials, perfect for just printing out and including in the
kit.

For day-to-day workshop use I'd probably fill it out a bit with the things
I know I use a lot of (NSAIDS, weird shaped waterproof bandaids and topical
burn gel), but it is the perfect start for a small hackerspace.
