Badge not working?
Call or Email Site Access Office ( Bldg. 65A) 510-486-4551 / siteaccess@lbl.gov
Note: Make sure your GERD and all relevant trainings are up to date.
Please note: If you have your badge but do not have a lbl email or login setup yet (no access to access.lbl.gov), contact your site host to setup temporary access accommodations to work at the desired location. Until you have full badge access, you will not be allowed to work onsite without site access approved host permissions.
Site & Building Access
A badge is required to access all LBNL sites. Schedule your badge appointment in B65 on the main hill site. Bring your ‘New Hire’ letter and government issued ID for painless entrance through the Blackberry gate.
Now that you have your badge, you will need to ensure you have access
to the appropriate buildings.
Log in at access.lbl.gov
Click on your name at the top right of the page
Click on View Profile
My Access Cards will display your current badge and its status (active or inactive)
My Access Areas will display all the permissions you have on your badge
Click on ‘New Request’ in the upper right hand corner of the ‘My Access Areas’ section to add relevant buildings to your badge.
Note: The deactivation date on most of your permissions is tied to your GERT expiration date and will automatically update next time you complete the training
Have you Requested Badge Access to the building?
*NOTE: This procedure is for adding badge access only.
The badge management system may be accessed at access.lbl.gov.
The Lab has a new badge management system that allows badge-holders to go online to add additional building access to their badge. The Security & Emergency Services Division has been working on this project for several years as one step in a multi-step plan to improve security and safety at Lab sites.
To request access, you will need to log in before following these instructions:
Select “Area Request”.
Look up the area you want to access.
Click “Add” on the right side of the area name.
You may add multiple areas in a single request by searching for the applicable areas and clicking “Add” for each of them
Some areas are authorized by multiple divisions and will have a self-service listing for each division. Add just ONE area, and choose the one with the division you work for or that is most applicable for the work you will be doing in this area
Click “Done” on the top right, and you’ll be directed to the request form.
Type in your reason for the request in the appropriate field.
Select “Submit Request” at the top right of the page.
Your request will be routed to the area’s authorizer. After it has been approved, the access will be automatically added to your badge.
You can check the status of your requests on the homepage under “My Requests”, which lists all of your requests that have not yet been approved and applied.
If you need sitewide access, please review this list of access areas and determine which, if any, is appropriate for you.
If you do not see the area you are requesting in the self-service list, please email siteaccess@lbl.gov.
Additional resources and instructional videos can be found on our new Shared Drive.
If you are an area authorizer (i.e. a SAM), you have access to the Security Access Managers Resources Google Drive.
