How must a SIDA badge be displayed when working on the AOA?

A SIDA badge must be displayed on the outermost garment above the waist to ensure that it is easily visible to security personnel and other airport staff. This requirement is essential for maintaining security protocols within the Security Identification Display Area (SIDA), allowing for swift identification of authorized personnel. By wearing the badge in this visible manner, airport security can efficiently monitor access and compliance with safety regulations.

Displaying the badge in other locations, such as inside a pocket or attached to equipment, would hinder visibility, potentially leading to confusion about an individual’s authorization to be in restricted areas. Keeping the badge visible reinforces safety practices and complies with regulatory standards put in place to protect the airport environment.
