Milwaukee Makerspace has 260 members and no paid staff. Everyone is
a volunteer. We have 7 Board Members who do most of the work of
running the space.<br>
<br>
One of the issues we've had is that if we have any employees, we'd
be subject to OSHA regulations (or at least that's what we've been
led to believe.) How do others deal with that. I'm not suggestion
our space isn't safe, but we'd probably have to do a lot more if we
fell under OSHA guidelines.<br>

<div dir="ltr">As Tampa Hackerspace approaches 100 members, we're
starting to look forward for the best ways to handle growth and
scaling without driving ourselves crazy. One thing we're
considering is whether it makes sense to have someone on payroll
to take care of some basic things.

<div>For the more established and larger spaces out there, I'm
curious how many members you had when you added your first
paid staff. What was your overall budget at the time? Were
they part time or full time? What responsibilities did they
have?<br>
