Regularly scheduled authorizations should be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar]. Other authorizations are done in a few different ways. Viral-type authorizations only need you to find a willing authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization. Some are handled by an area's volunteer authorizer or a short list of trainers or proctors. Check the specfic tool/equipment wiki page. You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or sometimes the protocol is to post a request on the PS1 mailing list. For further details about the process, visit [[Authorization: An Overview for New Members]]

Regularly scheduled authorizations MIGHT be listed on the PS1 [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ calendar] for certain things (again, look at the thing's wiki page to see if that might be the case). Other authorizations are done in a few different ways. Viral-type authorizations only need you to find a willing already-authorized member to show you the ropes and sign off on your authorization. Some are handled by an area's volunteer authorizer or a short list of trainers or proctors. Check the specific tool/equipment wiki page. You can try to contact the volunteer authorizer directly, or sometimes the protocol is to post a request on the PS1 mailing list.

There is a move afoot to transfer some of the burden for authorization and safety awareness for tools and equipment to an LMS (Learning Management System) called. [[Canvas]]. [[Canvas]] will not encompass all tools, or all aspects of tools, but will probably be adopted for gauging interest in tool authorization, because you'll be able to review safety and pre-authorization requirements online, which is then visible to authorizers, as well as for preliminary pre-authorization 'homework' you can do on your own time, or for simple and not-very-dangerous things, you might be able to meet all the authorization requirements online. [[Canvas]] is not ready for use just yet (as of January 2018) but there is an active group of members working on it, and there is a live instance of it running as a PS1 subdomain; meaning that it is addressable at canvas.pumpingstationone.org See the [[Canvas]] page here on the wiki for a little more information.

Why tell you about Canvas if it isn't running yet? So you can volunteer to help make it happen!

Any tool that has an equipment label has a URL, right on the label, showing you where to look to learn all about that tool including the authorization process and requirements.

For ANY tool, the authoritative process for it's authorization, such as it is, is on the tool's own wiki page. Any mention here of process or requirements is liable to be somewhat out of date, unless that has been updated to a link to the tool. For tool maintainers and wiki maintainers, it's good to convert things to links so that the pertinent information need only bee maintained in one place.
