Drones - Where does the buck stop? A H&S Perspective for Directors
Join IoD Scotland’s Aberdeen branch as we meet with Consortiq’s Global Managing Director, Gareth Beverley and Global Operations Director, Bryce Allcorn for an executive roundtable discussion.
Drone technology plays a significant part in shaping the future of the energy sector, bringing numerous benefits to your business. Drones are already having a revolutionary effect as a proven safe technology that can collect data in a cost-effective, time-efficient way, providing traceability and is a key tool in the digital transformation of businesses.
We know that drones perform manual inspections more efficiently and dramatically reduce risk to human life, especially in confined spaces and working at height, but they can introduce risks that you may not be aware of.
During the course of the evening the Consortiq leadership team will discuss how you balance the scales of risk, to you as a Director, and your organisation.

Your company’s culture and attitude to safety, how this lends itself to UAS operations.Will innovating with drones leave you with a skill shortage? Could a rapid expansion of drones mean higher potential for accidents?Do you insource or outsource, what’s your risk exposure and operating framework?Does your Emergency Response Plan consider drone technology?Who are the regulators involved and how do you manage them?
Who is the event for?
