Alarm, Light, And AI In Drones

Technology: Alarm, Light, And AI In Drones

Technological developments are indeed increasingly sophisticated!

We will never be able to stop talking about the sophistication of technology, which is always updated every second :-)

Currently, Drones not only act as recorders & transporters, but Drones can also act as Alarms, Lights & Detectors!

The latest Drones already have:
- Advanced Speakers that can produce sound. This Drone can provide an Alarm (Emergency Warning), so this Drone can be used to assist the Safety & Communication Processes in the field.
- Spotlight Solutions that can provide strong light. This Drone can light up dark areas, so this Drone can be used to assist SAR, Inspection & Supervision Operations at night.
- AI Support that can detect humans, vehicles & ships. This Drone can track objects in real-time, so that this Drone can be used for Surveillance & Security Operations across industries.

Best Advice:

Drones can be used by anyone. However, if companies, Professional Personnel & industries use Drones, then Drones must be used professionally & comply with regulations. The companies, Professional Personnel & industries must take the right Drones Training that provides the best professional insights, skills & competencies & is given to Professional Drone Pilots & Operators across all industry sectors. The training should ensure expertise that is relevant to industry needs.

Confined Space

Safety: Confined Space

The Confined Space is a closed space & does not have adequate ventilation, so the Confined Space should not be occupied by people for a long time.

Some forms of Confined Spaces:
- Tanks
- Sewers
- Silos
- Storage bins
- Holes
- Tunnels

At first glance, Confined Spaces seem harmless, but the fact is that Confined Spaces are full of dangers that can cause death:
- Lack of oxygen
- Presence of odorless & colorless toxic gases: H2S, carbon monoxide, methane
- Presence of flammable & explosive objects: Power lines, machines
- Presence of liquids & mud that can drown you
- Presence of slippery surfaces, extreme temperatures & falling objects

Most people who die in Confined Spaces are:
- Confined Space Workers
- Rescue Teams who attempt to save victims in Confined Spaces but do not use the proper PPE & do not have the ability to carry out Safety & Emergency Procedures

Confined Spaces require:
- Rigorous planning
- Air testing
- Permit to Work
- Safety, Emergency & Rescue Procedures

Top Advice:
- Never assume that you can get in & out of a Confined Space easily & quickly!
- If you are going to work in a Confined Space, invest in your life & safety by taking the right Confined Space Training!
- Encourage your workplace & your team to take the required Confined Space Training & implement Safety, Emergency & Rescue Procedures

It is better to have the right & required knowledge & skills now before it is too late, through an accident!
