UAVs (Drones) Safety in Construction Grant uri icon

abstract

  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones have received much attention for their high-performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in various applications such as monitoring and surveillance. These aircraft do not rely on onboard human operators, reducing human risk in dangerous environments such as construction projects. This proposal aims to provide training material for the construction industry to identify drone-related hazards in construction job sites and mitigate the associated safety risks.
