Abstract: The Employee/Contractor Identification System which is managed by the Business Operations Center’s,Office ofAdministrative Services is a comprehensive security system detailing specific employee/contractor information used to gain entrance to Department of Labor (DOL) National Office locations. The information is depicted on a custom security identification card system which contains an ID color photo of the individual, their name, signature, organizational component, and an expiration date. The ECIS provides management with an easily assessable pictural image of all employees/contractors at any time. The color coded security features of the software enables DOL to distinguish employees by various work categories: federal employees, contractors, daycare workers, daycare parents, and accessibility to the building during various hours. The ECIS has been in operations at DOL since 1997.

Purpose: The challenge of global terrorism, the consequences of major disasters and emergencies, the epidemic of domestic and work related violence require that every federal agency maintain a secure work place for its employees and clients so that productivity and continuity of operations can be insured. Since the April 19, 1995 bombing of Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, federal agencies have been required to maintain a proactive stance with regard to the security of its facilities and the safety of its employees. This decision requires a continuing assessment of the security measures of the Frances Perkins Building (FPB) to determine if it is maintaining the recommended minimum security standards as set forth in the Justice Department’s Aug. 28, 1995 Vulnerability Assessment of Federal Facilities.

Agency Program: The ECIS serves as one of the basic security safeguards utilized by the Department of Labor to provide a secure workplace for its workforce.
