To get the second hip pouch, you will need to get the ID Wristband (Level 1), which can be found on the dead researcher's body on the 2nd floor of the East Wing, just past the Lead Researcher's Office.
Note: This is where you will encounter Chunk, who is roaming around the area. Be careful when trying to get the wristband.
2
Go inside the Filling Room located on the second floor of the West Wing.
3
Use the wristband to open the door inside and obtain the hip pouch on the top of the cabinet.

The second hip pouch is located inside the Filling Room, located on the second floor of the West Wing. However, it is locked behind a door inside the Filling Room, which will need the ID Wristband (Level 1) to open it. The wristband can be found on the dead researcher's body on the 2nd floor of the East Wing.

Processing - Hip Pouch 3

How to Get Processing Room Hip Pouch
1
After obtaining the second joint plug during the Basement section of the main story, obtain the Forklift Key located on the dead body near the blocked door on the left of the Processing room.
2
Move the forklift blocking the door by using the Forklift Key on the machine near the blocked door.
3 Turn the power back on inside the Processing room by using your Joint Plug in the machine across the door. This will unlock the door containing the third hip pouch.
4
Go inside the unlocked door and obtain your reward, which is placed at the top of the table.

The third hip pouch is found inside the left room in Processing in the Basement.
