We take shop safety seriously, and we expect our members to as well.

Once you become a Shop Access Member, you must attend a Safety Orientation before scheduling shop time. Please do not book time in the shop before participating in an orientation.

You can sign up for a Safety Orientation via the calendar. We typically host these on the first Sunday of the month. They last 3 hours as we review the operation and safety of each piece of equipment in the shop.

We have a limited number of seats available for these orientations each month, so please make every effort to attend, as we often reach full capacity.

If you have questions about this process, please email us at safety@astoriawoodworkers.org.
