Purpose of ID Badges
• provide access into restricted areas allowing you to access certain secured gates
and doors required by your job
• lets other employees know that you are authorized to work at the airport
The badge identifies:
• who you are
• the company you work for
• the areas you are authorized to access.
Only Blue, Red and Yellow colored employee ID badges provide authorized access
to the SIDA.
EXCEPTIONS to the airport ID badge display rules
• airports generally allow Federal Aviation Administration safety inspectors on the
ramp as long as they display proper Federal ID
• airline pilots and cockpit flight crew members may also be in the vicinity, or
footprint, of their aircraft without an airport SIDA badge. However, they must be
in uniform and display a valid airline badge for the airline that employs them.
• TSA Transportation Security Inspectors may enter and be present in the SIDA
without displaying identification in order to inspect or test security compliance,
, but they must be able to produce either proper Federal ID or a valid SIDA badge
when challenged.
