Improve Safety Using Industrial Inspection Drones

How can you improve safety for your internal inspections?

By using an indoor drone to eliminate or significantly reduce the need for inspectors to enter confined spaces to collect visual data.

  • Every year in the U.S. 200 people die and 15,000 people are seriously injured while working in confined spaces, according to OSHA.
  • Every year in the U.S. about 4,500 people are injured and 60 killed due to accidents related to working on scaffolding, according to OSHA.
  • From 2017 to 2019 there were 28 serious injuries as a result of people using rope access in industrial settings, four of which were fatal, according to the global Industrial Rope Access Trade Association, which is based in the U.K.

It’s worth noting that these confined space and scaffolding statistics are just for the U.S. If you apply these numbers globally, it’s likely that there are thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries every year associated with the work inspectors do in confined spaces. Death and injuries that could have been prevented using Elios inspection drone. Instead of entering confined and hazardous spaces themselves, inspectors can use an indoor drone to collect visual data, allowing them to remain safely outside.
