CPPSEC3130 Conduct security screening using hand-held metal detectors focuses on using hand-held metal detectors to conduct security screening in controlled access and public-facing environments. It applies to security personnel responsible for preparing screening equipment, screening people in accordance with workplace procedures, identifying potential prohibited items and responding appropriately to findings while maintaining safety, privacy and professional conduct.
The unit addresses five core areas:
The CPPSEC3130 RTO training resources can support trainers in explaining screening procedures, equipment operation and safe security practices. Trainers can combine the learning materials with supervised demonstrations and practical exercises involving detector positioning, systematic scanning techniques and responding to metal detection alerts.
Yes, the training materials can be contextualised for security settings such as airports, entertainment venues, public events and controlled-access facilities. Trainers can incorporate workplace-specific screening procedures, equipment instructions and organisational protocols to help learners practise techniques relevant to their intended security roles.
Assessment activities should allow learners to demonstrate correct detector handling, systematic screening, professional communication and appropriate responses to detection alerts. RTOs can use the CPPSEC3130 training resources to support assessment preparation while ensuring practical observations and evidence collection meet the unit’s assessment requirements.
