What should SIDA badge holders do if they lose their badge?

Those who hold a SIDA (Security Identification Display Area) badge must report the loss of their badge to the airport authority immediately for several important reasons. Firstly, the airport authority is responsible for the security and integrity of the airport's operations. A lost badge poses a potential security risk, as it could be misused by an unauthorized individual to gain access to secure areas.

By informing the airport authority right away, they can take necessary steps such as deactivating the lost badge to prevent unauthorized use and ensuring that security protocols are upheld. Timely reporting is crucial in maintaining the safety and security of all personnel and operations within the airport environment.

The other options do not align with the immediate security needs associated with a lost badge. Reporting only to an employer may lead to delays in addressing the security risk, while waiting until a next shift brings additional vulnerabilities. Revising an application for a new badge, while potentially necessary eventually, does not address the urgent requirement to secure the environment right away.
