According to a 2024 Work to Zero survey, 54% of employees in safety-sensitive industries reported exposure to work at heights, while 38% reported exposure to confined spaces. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, eliminate the need for workers to enter these high-risk environments by performing tasks such as inspections, monitoring, surveying and mapping while the operator remains in a safe location. Often equipped with thermal cameras, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and other advanced sensors, drones can capture high-resolution imagery, video and environmental data, which enable teams to assess conditions remotely and reduce the risk of incidents associated with manual entry.
