Australian relevance
Australian asset owners and service providers need approaches that account for local work-health-and-safety duties, site conditions and environmental controls.
Safety considerations
Work planning should consider people below, pressurised systems, chemicals, water, electrical assets, falling objects and secure exclusion areas.
Compliance considerations
Aviation rules operate alongside workplace safety, environmental, property-access and equipment requirements. The responsible parties must verify all applicable obligations.
International experience
Overseas equipment and methods may offer useful technical insight, but they require local safety assessment, equipment verification and regulatory review before Australian use.
SITA's intended role
The committee examines practical safety, worksite coordination and operating considerations for emerging drone-assisted cleaning activities.
