To meet the urgent need for high-quality training for newly-recruited security X-ray screeners, Renful has produced TREFOX (Training Essentials For X-ray). TREFOX is designed to provide basic X-ray training to new recruits with no previous experience of working in an X-ray operation.
TREFOX covers a variety of subjects - from understanding how an X-ray machine works, to basic health and safety, to more complex subjects such as the interpretation of X-ray images. When the student has completed all chapters of the TREFOX programme, he/she should have a comprehensive understanding of what X-rays are, what X-rays are capable of achieving, the overall importance and purpose of X-ray security screening operations, and the importance of adhering to health and safety guidelines when using radiation producing X-ray equipment. The student will also be more familiar with terminology that he/she will use at the checkpoint.
The TREFOX training program consists of 10 Chapters:
History of X-ray
Nature of X-rays
The X-ray Tube
Penetration & Absorption
Security X-ray Machines
X-ray Machine Features
Prohibited Items
Limitations of X-ray
Operating Procedures
Health & Safety
Our e- learning platform,Avsecschool, now hosts the Trefox Course and the custom built test.
The test uses a variety of multimedia questions to assess the students knowledge, after the completion of the Trefox Course
When the student has completed the TREFOX training programme, he/she will be ready to progress to the SIMFOX programme to further increase his/her competence in interpreting X-ray images and recognising threat items.
