There is a demand for
complete screening checkpoint training in classrooms. The IED training provided by
various institutions comes in course details like any other courses that are
provided for education and career enhancement. There is different equipment offered
to students who can get a practical experience out of it so that they know how
the real world substance look and function. Let us check some of the systems
that help students gain knowledge and experience at explosive trace detection.
1. X-ray systems.
These systems are highly
important and can be seen at airports and other places. Training is given to
the students by certified instructors on how to operate on these systems and
what to do in case anything is found in the X-ray systems that are suspicious.
Hands-on training is a great way of learning threat screening and how to tackle
in these situations.
2. X-ray interpretation.
Students get to know the
X-ray interpretation and identify IED components like the initiators,
batteries, switches and explosives. Identifying various items like cell phones,
knives, liquids, and cameras are also included in this practical instruction.
Instructions are extensive and provide necessary knowledge which needs the
details and descriptions of various items.
3. Walk-through and
handheld detectors.
The course can help
students to learn how to screen individuals for weapons when using the walk
through the detector and also the handheld ones. In the course, the students
gain knowledge through training so that they get to know how the systems work
and the situations that one has to handle. Students are also taught to operate
and know the settings and calibration as well.
4. Explosive threats.
The explosive threat
and IED training is also critical and how to handle them is taught. The identification
of explosives and the effects are properly instructed to the students. The
primary undertaking of such highly dangerous devices is also provided in the
classes.
5. Radiation safety.
The course also helps
train students on radiation hazards from various sources. Radiation protection
today plays a very important role in health concerns as well, and is part of
explosive detection systems.
