ID Badge Policy          


ID Badge Policy

Overview

To ensure the safety of all employees, an ABX-issued Identification Badge must be displayed while on property owned or operated by ABX.

Core Requirements

  • ABX will comply with all regulations issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and/or the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Employee Responsibility

  • All employees must have a valid ABX ID badge when reporting to work.
  • Report a lost, stolen, or misplaced ID badge to your supervisor immediately.
  • Badges must be displayed on the outside of clothing at or above the waist at all times while on ABX-owned or operated property.
  • Each employee should challenge anyone who is not properly badged. A supervisor should be contacted immediately.

Leadership Responsibility

  • Ensure that all employees are properly badged and relay proper instructions for replacement. Under no circumstances should an employee be granted base access without a valid ABX ID or temporary badge.

Definitions

  • Proximity Access Card: Issued by Human Resources and grants access through the turnstiles at ILN.
  • ABX ID: Identification card with picture issued by Human Resources for identification and time-keeping purposes. This will be attached to the front of the Proximity Card for Wilmington (ILN) employees and attached to the front of a blank card for those not located at ILN.
  • ABX ID with a yellow stripe: Grants frequent access to the top side of an aircraft.
  • ABX ID with a green background: Indicates holders of this ID badge should not be on the ramp at any time.
  • ABX ID with a blue stripe: Designates second job or volunteer. Used for time-keeping purposes only.
  • ABX ID with blue jumpseat designation: Allows authorized ABX employees to ride jumpseat on ABX aircraft for business purposes only.
  • ABX ID with a brown stripe: Designates a contractor or temporary employee.
  • ABX ID with assorted colors and designations in the bottom right hand corner of badge. May designate RSC (Ramp Security Coordinator), Auditor (Ramp Auditor), and/or Professional Loadmaster.

Badge Replacement Procedures

Any employee who either loses or misplaces/forgets their ABX access badge must report to the Administration

guard post to gain entry to the base. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.

If the badge has been misplaced/forgotten and not actually lost, the guard will give the employee a date stamped (1) one-day temporary access pass to use for entry for that shift only. The employee then brings his or her misplaced/forgotten badge in for their next shift and a replacement badge will not be made. If employees are unable to find their misplaced/forgotten badges by their next shift, they must follow the lost badge procedure below and another one-day temporary badge will be issued for each of these employees.

If the badge actually has been lost, the guard at the Administration guard post will give the employee a date-stamped one-day temporary pass to use for entry for that shift. The employee then would report to the Administration guard post before his or her next scheduled shift and a replacement badge will be waiting.

Temporary access passes will not be issued for more than two consecutive days/nights unless it is the weekend or a holiday.

A $5 replacement fee will be charged for any lost badge.
