Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, storing an operator certification value at a first mobile device. A first wireless signal is obtained via a first wireless technology from a reference terminal at a fixed location and a position of the first mobile device is determined according to the first wireless signal and the fixed location. A physical relationship is determined between the first mobile device and a second device attached to equipment and configured with an equipment certification requirement. Responsive to the physical relationship satisfying a threshold value, a comparison of the certification value of the operator and the equipment certification requirement is initiated. An operator-equipment association is generated responsive to a match between the certification value of the operator and the equipment certification requirement, wherein the operator-equipment association facilitates operator access to an operable feature of the equipment. Other embodiments are disclosed.
