While You Are Here

Gate Pass and Badge Identification

While on Laboratory property, all individuals are required to wear their Gate Pass conspicuously, photo side out, in a location above the waist and on the front of the body.

COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocols

While on the Argonne site, you must:

• Wear a face covering, except when alone in a personal office, when in a personal workspace and able to maintain social distancing, or when alone outdoors.
• Maintain a six-foot social distance from others at all times.
• Respect capacity limits in meeting rooms and other public areas, and do not share rides with Lab employees, users or other visitors.
• If you become ill while on site, stay away from others and immediately call the COVID-19 question line. The phone number will be provided to you on a lanyard card when you receive your gate pass. The line is staffed 24/7. If you become short of breath, call 911 immediately.
