And for safety belts, the ship doesn't actually touch the inertia dampening fields - an anti-gravity bubble field does, so the actual inertia is transferred from the AG field to the ID fields.

And Fuses!!!!

In Star Trek the number one cause of death on the ship was exploding consoles

Ship gets hit by a phazer or something, the shields hold but somewhere a console explodes wounding or killing someone.

Serious, put a 5¢ fuse on the thing or at the very least the poor operator should be wearing a blast shield of some kind
