Visitor & Vendor Access

Welcome to Visitor and Vendor Access, your go-to course for ensuring a secure, compliant, and welcoming environment at cannabis facilities. Managing access is more than just letting people in; it’s about creating a structured approach that balances safety, customer experience, and regulatory compliance. This training provides a complete look at visitor and vendor management best practices to help your operation thrive.

Effective visitor management begins at the door—literally. This course will teach you how to create a smooth, yet secure, entry process for customers, vendors, and employees. From verifying IDs and controlling access to designated areas, to understanding the difference between limited and restricted zones, you’ll learn how to streamline foot traffic while keeping your facility safe. This isn’t just about protecting your operation; it’s also about maintaining compliance with cannabis regulations and offering a seamless experience for everyone involved.

We’ll explore key topics like managing customer flow, setting up proper security barriers, and implementing robust verification processes. Whether you’re dealing with regular customers or third-party vendors, understanding the nuances of access management is essential. You’ll also learn to distinguish between Key Workers and Support Workers, understanding who can access what, and why. This differentiation is critical for both compliance and safety, ensuring that unauthorized individuals don’t gain entry to sensitive areas like vaults, cash registers, or product storage rooms.

With a focus on visitor verification, we’ll guide you through the three essential steps of the check-in process: authentication, staff notification, and visitor fulfillment. Each step will be broken down into actionable strategies, ensuring you have a clear understanding of what’s required to secure your cannabis facility. In addition, the training covers best practices for handling vendors, including separate entry points, background checks, and managing Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). By keeping vendor access controlled and well-documented, you mitigate potential risks and maintain a compliant facility.

Whether you’re running a small dispensary or a large-scale cultivation operation, this course is designed to give you the knowledge and tools needed to implement a strong access management system. From understanding regulatory requirements to managing everyday foot traffic, you’ll leave this training equipped to make informed, security-driven decisions that protect both your operation and the people within it.
