What is the standard escort requirement for unbadged visitors in SIDA?

• A. Unbadged visitors may enter unescorted if they have a company ID.
• B. Visitors need an escort from any employee with a badge.
• C. Unbadged visitors do not need escort during daytime.
• D. Unbadged visitors must be escorted by a badge holder at all times inside SIDA areas.

Answer: (D)

In SIDA, unbadged visitors must be escorted by a badge holder at all times inside SIDA areas. The badge shows verified identity and granted access, and having someone with that badge with you ensures you stay within authorized routes and that there is a accountable supervisor for the visitor. A company ID isn’t enough to substitute for the SIDA badge, and the escort should be provided by someone who actually holds a valid badge with the proper access privileges, not just any badge-bearing employee. The escort requirement is in effect at all times, not limited by time of day.
