And again on the working dress, rank slide on the front and fwd sticking out tabs on the cuffs that could get caught in rotating machinery, leaning over a lathe etc.
Slide ranks on the shoulders can be seen from every direction, on the front and one arm, from two.

It would make sense for one of the arm pockets to have a window in it for carrying your ID / Airside pass when working airside.

..
Personally unconvinced by wearing ID visibly. Nobody looks closely once you're in work area so it's easy for a malign character to sneak in, and anyone with a long zoom lens has a straightforward way to pinch data and clone your id.
