Where must you wear your badge while in the SIDA area?

Wearing your badge on the outermost garment and keeping it readily visible is crucial in the SIDA (Security Identification Display Area) for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures that security personnel and fellow employees can easily identify you as an authorized individual in sensitive areas. This visibility is essential for maintaining the security protocols that protect the airport and its operations.

When badges are worn on the outermost layer, it prevents any obstructions that could hide your identity, thereby enhancing overall safety and security. This practice also helps in quickly verifying individuals’ access rights, fostering a more secure environment where unauthorized persons can be swiftly identified and managed.

In contrast, wearing the badge on a wrist or in a pocket may lead to situations where you might be mistaken for someone without proper authorization. Additionally, only wearing the badge when asked does not fulfill the proactive security measures necessary within high-security areas such as airports, where immediate identification is paramount. Therefore, the requirement to display your badge openly is focused on ensuring continuous security and efficient identification at all times.
