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 and includes search of personal effects. It does not cover standard responses to security risk situations in the screening process, for example restraint and detention of persons which are covered by units such as CPPSEC2004A Respond to security risk situation. It does not include image interpretation which is covered by the unit CPPSEC2006A Screen items.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to screen people for dangerous or prohibited items. It requires the ability to prepare and use security screening equipment, monitor people and alarms, adapt screening processes for infants and people with special needs, and carry out search of persons and personal effects. It also requires knowledge of the legal issues relevant to the rights and responsibilities of persons involved in search activities.
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.
