All members take our safety training prior to operating machines. This ensures a safe shop and provides high-quality training at no cost to our members.
Class participants are not required to go through safety training prior to taking a class.
We want members of all experience levels at Saratoga Joinery. In order to accommodate everyone, we offer a Novice and Advanced track of our Safety Training.
NOTE: All new members must go through our New Member Orientation before registering for a Safety Training.
Each machine will be affixed with a card that has a different color on each side: yellow or green. When you are using that machine, you must flip the card to the color representing your safety designation. Machine Knowledgeable is yellow; Machine Qualified is green.
If you have been designated Machine Knowledgeable, you can be skilled up in the shop with the help of a Shop Steward when you are ready.
For beginner woodworkers, we offer four novice-level courses.
