Smart Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Screening Solution
Whether you’re screening for a major event, transport hub, or high-footfall venue, asking the right questions is critical to ensuring both safety and efficiency. Here’s a checklist for decision-makers to make informed, future-proof choices:
Does the purchase include hardware, software, training, support, updates, and any licensing? Watch out for hidden fees or ongoing costs.
Don’t rely on brochures. Demand proof in real-world conditions — and trial it in your environment with your crowd flow.
If it takes a specialist to operate or set up, it won’t get used properly. Choose a technology your team can deploy in minutes and use with confidence.
Ensure your supplier has boots on the ground — with Australia-based support, training, spares parts in country, and repair services.
Confirm compliance with third-party verified standards for electromagnetic exposure — especially for people with pacemakers, ICDs, and neurostimulators.
If the system collects data, confirm it adheres to relevant privacy laws — with transparency around how and where data is stored.
Go beyond the sales pitch. Do your due diligence. Look online into their reputation, for their track record, client base, and history of successful deployments in Australia — especially in high-stakes environments.
Ask for external certifications, medical safety compliance, and real-world case studies — not just in-house testing.
