​Effective July 6, everyone entering, BPA facilities, worksites or areas where BPA work is being conducted is required to properly wear a face covering over their nose and mouth when social distancing cannot be ensured. This policy will remain in effect until further notice.
Face coverings are required when:

• Social distancing cannot be assured, specifically when individuals are working within 6 feet of each other.
• Entering, exiting, and moving through common areas such as walking through lobbies, hallways, multiple occupancy spaces, breakrooms, and restrooms. During these movements, the ability to maintain social distancing cannot be assured.

Everyone entering BPA facilities, worksites or areas where BPA work is being conducted is required to take a self-screen questionnaire prior to entry.

Please keep our workforce safe.

• Make sure you contact the BPA person you are meeting at least 24 hours in advance. Your BPA contact is required to submit a Visitor Access Request to Security and receive access approval prior to your arrival.
• If you are not a U.S. citizen, there are additional steps that may require significantly more time to process before your visit can be approved.
• If you intend to bring a computer or other information technology equipment, including certain types of cell phones into a BPA facility, please let your host know in advance so you can be advised on the conduct requirements you will be required to adhere to while on site.

• Be sure to bring with you a valid, state or federally issued photo ID (driver's license or passport)
• Upon your arrival at either the Portland Headquarters building or the Ross Complex in Vancouver, you will be scanned by a metal detection device and any boxes, bags, cases, purses etc., will be inspected. NOTE: When visiting the Ross Complex, your car will also be inspected when you enter the campus.
• Do not bring any drugs, alcohol, firearms or weapons (including knives with 2 1/2 inch or greater blade). NOTE: License to carry a concealed firearm issued under state law is not an exemption to this federal prohibition.
• During your visit at BPA, expect to be escorted at all times by your host or another BPA employee.
