OPERATIONAL RISK & OHS MANAGEMENT
Inspection Risk Matrix: Traditional Methods vs AeroPRO UAV Diagnostics
Quantify personnel exposure to accident hazards and technical downtime risk. Compare traditional access systems (scaffolding, rope-access techniques, aerial platforms) against standardized unmanned diagnostics.
Increasing elevation exponentially raises the fall-from-height hazard coefficient and mandates advanced fall-protection procedures.
Site geometry determines the need for large-scale scaffolding and extends fall-protection system installation time.
The presence of third parties or active installations requires costly buffer zones and technological shutdowns.
Determines the permissible downtime for taking the object out of service during the technical audit.

The difference in accident-hazard exposure between methods is moderate, but AeroPRO's unmanned diagnostics still keeps the OHS indicator at a lower level. Delay risk remains lower or comparable when using UAV, with the advantage coming from independence from heavy crane-equipment availability.
The calculation is analytical/illustrative in nature and is based on work-at-height accident statistics and averaged access-system installation times. It does not replace a formalized Occupational Risk Assessment, but serves as a preliminary process-safety optimization tool.
