The first thing to determine is who will be held liable for anything that goes wrong in the <span data-scaytid="2" data-scayt_word="makerspace">makerspace</span>. This person needs to be a faculty member at your university. In terms of day to day management of the space, there are a number of options including university faculty, graduate assistants, paid student workers or volunteers. This choice may be one that your university will make for you due to liability reasons. If volunteers are chosen as the primary way to manage the space, they should be fully trained in all relevant safety procedures.</span></span>

The Occupational and Safety Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency that is tasked with enforcing health and safety related legislation. This organization is able to shut down any facility if deemed a safety risk, so it is important to control <span data-scaytid="3" data-scayt_word="makerspace ">makerspace</span> access. Only those who have received proper safety training should be able to access the <span data-scaytid="4" data-scayt_word="makerspace">makerspace</span>. Since training people may be an time consuming task, the “pay-it-forward” model can be used where in exchange for receiving safety training, a new member must train two new members. As far as when access is permitted, these time(s) should be decided in accordance with the available <span data-scaytid="5" data-scayt_word="makerspace">makerspace </span> “staff” and any other university rules. One possible option for restricting access to the space is an RFID door access system where student’s university ID card can be used to enter the space. This gives those who run the <span data-scaytid="6" data-scayt_word="makerspace ">makerspace</span> the ability to give access to only those who have received all the training, limit the times they can enter the room and keep track of who uses the space.</span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Other procedures that need to be established include opening and closing procedures, how to report and fix broken machinery, and how to order new supplies.</span>

  <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap; line">Once the <span data-scaytid="15" data-height: 1.38;scayt_word="makerspace">Other procedures that need makerspace</span> has been established, it is important get students involved with using the space. When first opening, hold opening/welcoming events and find ways to be established include get exposure through social media or a student/local newspaper. After the opening , regular workshops, design challenges and closing procedurescertification classes (safety training, how 3D printing certification) can be held to report keep students involved. Web based tools such as <span data-scaytid="84" data-scayt_word="Eventbrite">Eventbrite</span> are great for keeping track of event attendance and fix broken machinery<span data-scaytid="101" data-scayt_word="makerspace">makerspace</span> usage. Most importantly, the <span data-scaytid="132" data-scayt_word="makerspace">makerspace</span> should be opened to all of the university to foster innovation and how to order new suppliescollaboration.</span>
