I am a believer in safety, but a shunt trip breaker would be a better option.

In my case, I picked up a 100A Square D contactor on eBAY that is
installed upstream of the sub-panel that feeds the shop & shack outlets
(lighting is another circuit in the main panel) The concept is from the
ARRL handbook which recommended a conspicuously marked master switch to
shutdown the shack. Wife & kids know if anything is amiss, hit the
red button by the door.
