The idea makes my flesh crawl. (I'm not saying it shouldn't be done, only
that it's really scary).

I was going to mention another chapter every computer manual should have.
This also fits into the "It may be a mainframe if..." list that periodically
gets discussed on alt.folklore.computers.

The manual for the SWAC (used by the U.S. Bureau of Standards) has a whole
chapter on first-aid procedures, with emphasis on treatment of burns.

I don't know if it explains how to treat injuries from heavy objects
or angry co-workers.
