That bring sup another point. My workshop is in a detached garage. I
usually work by myself, but I always take either the portable phone or my
cell phone.
So when you are knocked unconscious either by a blow or by shock you can
phone for help?

May be better to rig up a timed loan worker system that sends an alarm,
i.e. if you don't reset it at a predetermined time it will alarm. The
timing could depend on the severity of the expected injuries.

How about a dead-man switch like they have on Ski-doo type things? There's
a short lanyard around your wrist, and you have to plug in the little plug
to make the machine go. If it knocks you back (or out!), the plug pulls
out of the socket, and it shuts down the whole shop, rings the alarm, and
calls the paramedics. ;-)
