Drones in Health and Safety Inspections Certificate (DHS)

Course duration: 40 hours, spread over 2 weeks

Course Code: DHS – 105

Course Objectives

Drone inspection training provides a comprehensive overview of the use of drones for visual inspections. This type of training covers various aspects, such as the benefits of drones in the inspection process, the types of inspections that can be performed using drones, and the use of special cameras and sensors to capture high-quality visual data. Additionally, drone inspection training teaches how to effectively pilot a drone, safely maneuver it around structures or equipment, and how to interpret and analyze the data collected from the inspections.

With drone inspection training, individuals can acquire the necessary skills to become proficient in the use of drones for inspections, which can be useful in industries such as aviation, energy, and construction.

This training course introduces students to drone aerial inspections of infrastructure assets. This fast-growing and lucrative RPAS industry eliminates the need to put human resources at risk when accessing difficult and risky inspection areas.

Students learn the elements of aerial inspections, workflow, and pricing models for audits of building & structure assets such as roofs, towers, bridges, power lines, solar panels and many more. This course will include a review of the most used remote sensing technology used in today’s structural inspection environment. Each day will include practical indoor & outdoor exercises and/or observation and discussions.
