• Immediately report significant screening, safety, package-accountability, or equipment issues.
• Assist with incident documentation, package-history reviews, and corrective-action follow-up.
• Maintain an organized, controlled, and operationally ready secondary screening area.
• Serve as the senior technical resource for recognizing and responding to suspicious or potentially hazardous mail and packages.
• Reinforce stop-work requirements and established procedures when suspicious or unresolved conditions are identified.
• Monitor screening equipment readiness and report alarms, malfunctions, or abnormal conditions.
• Operate, support, or provide technical oversight for authorized X-ray, biological, chemical, radiation, RF/RFID, package-tracking, and other Government-approved screening systems following required training and authorization.
