Airport security inspector jobs drastically reduced New Corona impact April 30 15:44
Due to the spread of new coronavirus infections, flight suspensions and flight reductions have been occurring one after another, and the work of security inspectors, such as baggage inspections at airports, has significantly decreased. The government is considering measures because it may affect the securing of human resources in the future.
Due to the spread of new coronavirus infections, aircraft have been suspended and flights have been reduced at various airports, and at Narita Airport, the number of people leaving Japan from the 1st to the 25th of this month remained less than 2% of the same period last year.
According to a person related to the security inspection company, the operation of the security inspection stations has been canceled one after another due to these effects, and the work of security inspectors who carry out baggage inspections etc. has greatly decreased.
On Twitter, a person who was involved in a security inspection job said, "I have more holidays every day and cry at my daily life." "I feel anxious about continuing my current job and retire. We have received a voice such as "I did it."
A woman in her thirties who is a security inspector told the NHK interview, “I feel that the new coronavirus has increased the turnover rate of security inspectors. I was proud of my work to protect the safety of the sky, Everybody is here because they don't have the money they need to live their lives. "
Regarding security inspectors, securing human resources had been a major issue even before infection spread due to the severe working environment.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is considering the situation because the situation surrounding security inspectors is becoming more severe and there is a possibility that it will affect future human resources acquisition in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, which were postponed next year.
Security inspectors also closed due to reduced flights and suspension of operations
Regarding security inspectors, due to irregular work hours and low wages, etc., there were temporary turnovers, and work style reforms were promoted among inspection companies.
Demand for security inspectors is expected to increase ahead of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, and at Narita Airport, the airport company has played a central role in improving treatment and securing human resources.
However, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, aircraft flights have been reduced and flights have been suspended one after another, and the inspection company is in a serious situation where it is necessary to leave the personnel who have secured it.
A 30-year-old security inspector woman working at an airport in Japan lost her March salary by about 100,000 yen due to the suspension of the NHK interview, and one mask is provided every 3 days. He said that he could lose his motivation to work because he was worried about getting infected.
He also said that he was worried that people who had the qualification to identify dangerous goods would retire and that the number of people who could carry out security inspections would be reduced.
The woman said, "At least the minimum required qualifications have been decided for the security inspection, but new education and training have almost stopped. Although the Olympics and Paralympics will be held next year, it may be too late. I have a feeling. "
