It includes:

setting up, testing and operating the walk-through equipment

using sensitive spoken and non-verbal communication to manage the order and flow of people through the screening point and using special screening methods for infants, children and people with specific needs

following legal requirements and procedures associated with personal search where required

monitoring and maintaining security and responding quickly to positive alarms.

It applies to people working independently or under limited supervision as members of a security team.

This unit may form part of the licensing requirements for people engaged in security operations in those states and territories where these are regulated activities.
