Whatever switch you use is going to fail if it's switching inductive loads daily.

Maybe one of these might be suitable;

If things like soldering irons are left on and only turned off by this master switch then they will be turned back on again by it. So you still end up with things being left on and unattended
 
Sounds like more common sense or training of the people using the equipment is needed, rather than a switch..
 
Yes, to all of that, I think the guy is a bit overwhelmed in a new place and the sensible options will prevail. I've some spurs and lighting to do and time to see how it develops.
Thanks for the help.
 
Whilst it is worth teaching people to turn off all equipment at the end of the day, it wouldnt hurt to have a main isolator to be sure everything is off when leaving.

Are power tools used in this workshop? If so, it could be worth installing a latching contactor with start/stop and e-stops (although i believe this system would have to be designed to meet standards other than bs7671 for machenery control)
