So why should you be training your staff?

​

Health and Safety compliance is top of mind these days:

As of the 4th of April 2016 all Employers (PCBU's) must ensure staff are trained in the safe use of all tools and equipment in the workplace. After completing the flight test you will have a certificate of competency to meet this legal obligation for your company. Clients are required to ensure contractors suitably qualified to operate equipment and undertake the works performed, we are happy to help you meet this responsibility.

 

It's just a flying camera right?

With this equipment in trained hands you have an amazing cost effective risk mitigating and time saving device that is world leading. By using drones and exploring new ways of using these aircraft we have seen so many new ideas and possibilities. While attending the course you get to discuss and share ideas where these tools could be utilized. A flying camera is just the beginning.
