MINIMUM SKILL REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATORS OF X-RAY INSPECTION SYSTEMS: SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article examines the minimum necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies that should be possessed by operators of X-ray inspection systems used in customs control. The study addresses the scientific justification for developing minimum professional standards, taking into account the specifics of technical means of customs control (TMCC), international practices, and modern challenges. A separate focus is given to the role of training simulators in developing and assessing the competencies of operators. A comparative analysis of the capabilities of existing training systems is conducted, and proposals for improving operator training programs are formulated. The results of the research can be applied in updating the educational standards of customs services, developing certification systems, and enhancing the effectiveness of customs control through better use of technical means.
