What is an authorization?

An authorization is an official permission given by the employer to an employee to perform certain tasks involving risks, particularly in the field of occupational safety (electricity, operating machinery, working at heights, etc.).

What is the purpose of authorization?

Authorization aims to:

  • Ensure the safety of the employee and their environment
  • Reduce the risks of workplace accidents.
  • Ensure the company’s regulatory compliance
  • Track each employee’s skills and training.

What is the difference between training and authorization?

Training allows one to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to perform an activity safely.
Authorization, on the other hand, is a permission issued by the employer after verifying that the employee is trained, competent, and fit to perform this risky activity.

Who issues the authorization?

Authorization is issued by the employer, who certifies that an employee has the necessary skills and aptitude to perform a task involving risk.
Before this issuance, the employee must be trained and declared fit by occupational health services, depending on the case.

Is authorization mandatory?

Yes, it can be mandatory when an employee performs tasks with identified risks (electricity, working at heights, etc.). The employer’s risk assessment determines the necessity of an authorization.
However, the obligation depends on the work context and the type of intervention.

What is the validity period of an authorization?

The validity period of an authorization is defined by the employer, based on the role and risks. In practice, refresher training or renewal is often scheduled every 2 to 3 years.
It is up to the employer to plan this renewal and ensure follow-up.

How to renew or maintain an authorization?

The renewal or maintenance of an authorization generally requires:

  • A refresher course or additional training.
  • An assessment of the employee’s aptitude.
  • A periodic check of the work environment and required skills.

The employer must document this process and ensure traceability.

What is authorization management software?

Authorization management software is a digital tool that allows organizations to track, centralize, and update employee authorizations.
It facilitates:

  • Traceability of authorizations and associated training,
  • Management of validity dates and renewals,
  • Archiving of evidence (attestations, certificates),
  • Generation of dashboards and regulatory reports.

The objective is to ensure reliable, compliant, and automated management, while limiting risks associated with missing or expired authorizations.

What are the advantages of using an authorization management tool?

Using dedicated software allows for:

  • Ensuring regulatory compliance,
  • Reducing administrative errors and operational risks,
  • Saving time through data centralization and automatic alerts,
  • Standardizing processes (tracking, validation, renewal),
  • Having indicators and dashboards to manage authorizations.

This allows the company to maintain a reliable and up-to-date system, essential for occupational safety and compliance with legal obligations.
