- Immediate Reporting: Inform your supervisor or the facility's security team as soon as you realize your badge is missing.
- Access Deactivation: Security personnel will deactivate the lost badge to prevent its misuse.
- Request Replacement: Contact the department responsible for issuing badges and request a replacement. Verification of your identity may be required.
- Temporary Credentials: You may receive temporary access credentials or be accompanied by security personnel until your new badge is issued.
- Badge Collection: Follow instructions for collecting your new badge and ensure it is activated and operational.
- Secure Your Badge: Keep your new badge secure to prevent future loss or theft.
Access badges are crucial for maintaining secure transit operations. Promptly reporting and replacing lost badges minimizes security risks and ensures the safety of the facility.
