Considering resin printing, safety first approach

Started fdm printing 6 months ago, got 2 elegoo Centauri carbons with around 600 hours each.
I have mostly printed models to paint and sell.
The next step in quality specially for models with skin would be a resin printer. However the risks are something to consider.
I live in Blackpool UK and would put the resin printing setup in a garage that is not insulated, the setup would be:
Elegoo saturn ultra 16k (£340)
Mercury v3 plus (£100)
Grow tent (£60-£100)
Full face breathing and eye protection (£15)
Gloves
Wipes
Lab coat (£20)
2 jugs of 5l IPA (£30)
Accessories such as funnel scrapper etc (£20)
So around £600.
What do you guys think? is it a safe setup?
Anything else I should account for
