Accidents sometimes happen when you are working with miniatures. How close is the nearest first-aid kit?

* in my game room
* in the next room
* two rooms away
etc.

Always keep a cup of water to wipe off any acrylic paint I get on me.

Ok kidding, worse I could think of injury is using Dremel tool and getting something in my eye. But do wear safety glasses when doing it.

I keep almost all of my first aid supplies in the bathroom, which would be the next room.

In my case, first aid consists of applying pressure to the wound to slow the bleeding. Second aid is a few rooms away where the gauze, tape, ointments and the rarely used tourniquet are housed.

downstairs.

I have superglue at my hobby desk. Just a drop or two on the wound and keep working. I don't need to stinking first aid.

Kitchen, both bathrooms, and the workshed all have a first aid kit. Distance depends on what gaming activity I am doing.

Game room as it is also the tornado shelter. We had two hit us at the same day this year.

I thought I was the only one who mixed gaming and tornadoes …

First aid stuff is in bathrooms, kitchen, game room, but the superglue is right next to me.

Super glue right at hand, bandaids close by.

Lots of good first aid advice here

As a career environmental, health and safety expert, there's first aid stuff in my shop, kitchen, garage, bathrooms. And 14 Bore, you are spot on. Anytime I use a power tool, safety glasses are a must. I have a pair that I've used as a visual aid for safety training. I was wearing them when the cutoff disc on my Dremel decided to fly apart. A chunk of the disc hit my right lens, and lodged into the glasses after dimpling the plastic. If I wasn't wearing the glasses, I'd have had to pursue a new career as a pirate.

At the hospital…

upstairs in the bathroom.

I suppose I might cut myself with an X-acto knife. Superglue is on the table, and band-aids are two rooms down the hall.

I might get spray paint in my eyes, so I always wear shop glasses when spray painting. I suppose if it happened, I would either let my eyes' natural processes clean the paint out or go to the emergency room, depending on how severe the problem felt. No first aid for that, anyway.

I'm not sure where else I'm going to get hurt while making and painting miniatures. Failing to ventilate and succumbing to superglue fumes? Seems unlikely. Bending too fast and too close to a miniature while wearing my optivisor and impaling an eye or nostril on the paintbrush? I have better awareness of my hands and tools than that. I don't have anything stored high enough to need a ladder that I can fall off of. Hmm. I suppose OSHA could find some hazards.

As a carpenter have had metal in my eye 2 times had to go get removed, it's not fun.
I always spray outside

The wife of our club host is a medical doctor. In 10 years we have not had to take advantage of this, except I once asked for an aspirin.

And it gets used often – mostly because I live on a farm and have a big family
