Overview

Workplace safety and induction are critical components of ensuring a safe and productive work environment for all employees. With the increasing use of drones in various industries, it is essential for management to consider the unique safety considerations associated with these devices. One key aspect of workplace safety with regard to drones is the demonstration of a "duty of care" element on worksites. This means that management must take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of employees and others who may be affected by the use of drones on the worksite. This includes providing proper training and education on the safe operation of drones, as well as implementing policies and procedures to minimize the risk of accidents or injuries. Another important consideration for management is the integration of drones into existing safety management systems. This includes ensuring that drones are properly maintained and inspected, and that operators are properly trained and certified. Additionally, it is important to establish clear protocols for the use of drones, including guidelines for when and where they can be used, as well as procedures for reporting and responding to incidents. In conclusion, the use of drones in the workplace presents new challenges for management with regard to demonstrating a duty of care element of many worksites. It's important for management to consider the unique safety considerations associated with drones and integrate them into existing safety management systems to ensure the safety of all employees and other individuals on the worksite.
