Drone Technology in H&S Inspections

SHIFT are bringing best in class expertise and skills to sites across the world through remote 24/7, 365 Health & Safety Support enabled by local drone deployment and piloting.

Why Drone Technology in Health & Safety

In preparing for a return to work, many organizations are implementing changes to their working practices while also dealing with a fluctuating or reduced workforce. Drone technology — in internal or external environments — can reduce personnel contact, reduce demands on site personnel, and reduce the need for travel.

The gathered data can be shared via cloud-based platforms to allow remote inspection and survey by team members as they work from home, enabling continuous safety oversight without physical presence on site.

Key Opportunities

Key opportunities presented by drone technology include the following capabilities:

  • Capture site data by drone and share with remote working team
  • Carry out inspections with zero contact — drone pilot and spotter can operate remotely without personnel contact
  • Reduced contact inspection — carry out video inspections, internal or external, and share data between team members without the need for personnel risk or travel
  • Internal inspection of distancing protocols — plan view of shop floor layout or warehouse
  • Capture up-to-date and accurate visual 3D models of internal or external site layouts, using the data to create social distancing and site routing solutions

Zero-Contact Inspections

Drone pilot and spotter can operate remotely without personnel contact, carrying out video inspections internally or externally.

3D Site Models

Capture up-to-date, accurate visual 3D models of site layouts and use the data to create social distancing and site routing solutions.

Cloud-Based Sharing

Data is shared via cloud-based platforms to allow remote inspection and survey by team members from anywhere.
