This unit of competency has wide application in the security industry in those roles involving security screening and search activities. In relation to the identification of drugs, competency involves a reporting function rather than law enforcement. The knowledge and skills described in this unit are to be applied within relevant legislative and organisational guidelines.
This unit focuses on the screening function. It does not cover standard responses to security risk situations in the screening process, for example search, restraint and detention of persons which are covered by units such as CPPSEC2004A Respond to security risk situation and CPPSEC2005A Screen people.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to screen items using image interpretation to ensure the security of premises. It requires the ability to operate security screening equipment and accurately interpret images to detect prohibited and dangerous items.
This unit may form part of the licensing requirements for persons engaged in security screening and search operations in those states and territories where these are regulated activities.
This unit provides coverage for both internationally defined Hold Baggage Screening (HBS) and Cabin Baggage Screening (CBS).
