A competency simulation exercise for the selection of aviation x-ray screeners. The most effective predictor of x-ray screener performance worldwide. As demonstrated in research by Qineti. Q for the UK Government Department for Transport

Scan. X provides an objective and fair standard for screener selection that is directly related to job performance. Competencies measured are those critical for X-ray screeners: Visual analysis Vigilance Image searching Detection speed Recognition of anomalies Concentration

ESTABLISHED RESEARCH BASE Proven high validity and superior performance in a worldwide review of techniques for effectively identifying x-ray screeners. Proven across different airport operations. Operationally tested and used in some of the busiest airports in the world (including Heathrow, Gatwick and Schiphol). No adverse impact in selecting people from different culture and gender groups – Qineti. Q study on performance. Official UK Government endorsement (Department for Transport – TIN 1/03).

OPERATIONAL FEEDBACK SHOWS TANGIBLE BENEFITS Scan. X selected personnel … Reach required competency levels in training faster. Are more successful in their final training pass rates. Achieve competence in the job more quickly Are far more successful in passing the UK national competency test for X-ray screeners, and Are higher performers in detecting threats. . .

Deployment advantages – a flexible workforce … Scan. X measures skills that are relevant to x-ray based passenger baggage screening and hold baggage screening, but also other image assessment technologies. Scan. X looks at visual analysis, the quality of search skills, and vigilance and the ability to concentrate for extended periods. Personnel selected using Scan. X will be able to transfer their skills to new types of screening technologies and positions.

BOTTOM LINE … Superior threat detection Customer satisfaction of airport experience Reduction of training costs, time and cost of failures Fewer lost shifts – quicker placement, suitable people Flexible staff deployment Career suitability and longer term retention.

Through a relatively low investment in recruitment, significant improvements and bottom line financial returns can be achieved in security operations.
