Authorization requirements can be '''found on the wiki page for most pieces of equipment.''' Tools should have an [Template:EquipmentPage|equipment label] https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Equipment_Label_Example on it that lists the appropriate wiki page URL.

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 Authorizations|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!
