The internationally recommended maximum duration for a screener to continuously perform screening duties, especially involving tasks requiring high concentration like X-ray image analysis or physical frisking, is typically limited to 20 minutes.
Limiting the continuous screening time is crucial to prevent fatigue, maintain alertness, and ensure effectiveness in detecting threats. After this period, screeners should be rotated to other less demanding tasks or take a break.
