The first thing to establish determine is who will be held liable for anything that goes wrong in the makerspace. 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 trained in all relevant safety procedures.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-ba11c5fd-6112-61e9-41b8-7faa676920b9"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The next consideration is who will have access to the space and when will they be able to access it. 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 a makerspace if deemed a safety risk, so it is important to control space access. Only those who have received proper safety training should be able to access the makerspace. 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 makerspace “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 makerspace 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>
