Drone safety

Hazards

• Operational controls for unmanned aircraft used in filming, surveying, lighting, or event production.

Controls

• A qualified remote pilot addresses authorization, airspace, weather, people, property, batteries, lost link, launch and recovery, visual line of sight, data, and emergency procedures.

Personal protective equipment

• Select task-specific PPE only after hazards and higher-order controls have been evaluated.

Regional considerations

• Applicable law, permits, collective agreements, venue rules, and qualified-person decisions take precedence.

In practice

A qualified remote pilot addresses authorization, airspace, weather, people, property, batteries, lost link, launch and recovery, visual line of sight, data, and emergency procedures.
