Questions about a First Aid kit...

Hello All!

Allow me to introduce myself and who I stand for. My name is Adam, and I am an Alum of Team 3763, the 4H WildCards. I am also a current full-time student at NC State University. To skip all the formalities and get right down to it, I am looking for a proper First Aid/Safety kit assembly--of sorts.

I am a member of NC State's High-Powered Rocketry Club and, with this year's previous election, the elected Safety Officer. Shockingly enough, we do not have a well-regulated First Aid kit! Now, I was also the Safety Captain of my FRC Team, however I was given a FA kit pre-assembled when I was awarded position. My concerning question is:

What exactly should be found within a First Aid kit for such a club?

Some specifics:
-The club constructs the rocket in a lab
-The lab does use chemicals such as two-part epoxy, as well as power tools and tool stations, such as a drill press or belt sander.
-The first aid kit "should" be mobile, as we go to various launches around NC and a regional competition
-Although we work with high powered rockets, in-lab we do not use the engine, and will only have access to the engine during a launch event handled by specific personnel.
-The kit can either be buy&piece together, or a pre-manufactured kit from a hardware store or the likes of

Any and all input is greatly appreciated!

And thank you for your time,

Adam
