I have tabulated the boat's safety gear in Word. Now I am planning to prepare a diagram in either Visio, Paint or Excel and locker labels describing what safety gear can be found in each location for myself and crew. Does anyone have one to share and what additional safety gear should be added to the list and maybe lockers with labels describing what safety gear can be found there?

Below are a list of safety gear as a starting point to include:

Electrical shut-off(s)?
Good list. My problem has always been keeping stuff in its designated location, I.e., VHF handheld, knives, ...

I like it. IT is stuff in my head.
Now that I have read your list, I remember the comment.. Unless it is written down it doesn't exist.

I did this plan years ago for anyone operating the boat. It hasn't been used much or updated but little has changed and this 'key' is visible and easily accessible with registration, etc.

TomY offers a really good solution............use the Snip & Sketch to copy and paste your boat's plan and cross-sectional views into a WORD document. Then use the Shape function in WORD to insert arrows from a text description of the safety gear to their location.

I imported the layout drawing for my boat into Apache OpenOffice Draw then traced over the lines to create an uncluttered view. I have started to add notes for locations of systems on different layers (AC power, DC power, plumbing, Safety...). I have not added much to the Safety layer yet so thanks @sail sfbay for posting your list, I can add these now.
