1.2 PERSONNEL SPECIFIC MEASURES

1.2.1 IM SAFE

The health of the ROV/drone team is very important and has a direct impact of ROV/drone Operations safety. This is emphasized in the requirement for medical examinations and medical certificates. ROV/drone team members who feel sick or are affected in their perception or reflexes by drugs, drugs or pharmaceuticals have previously contributed to accidents in manned aviation and this also poses a major danger to ROV Operations.

A ROV/drone team member will resign his duties when operating a ROV/drone system if he/she doubts whether he/she can perform his duties properly or if he/she has the impression that he/she is suffering from such fatigue that this can endanger the ROV/drone Operation. If a ROV/drone team member does not feel fit enough to fly before or during a ROV/drone Operation, he/she will inform the other ROV/drone team members and the planning department as soon as possible so that another ROV/drone team member can be assigned to the ROV/drone Operations.

Each ROV/drone team member must use the IM SAFE methodology to determine whether he/she is fit enough to perform his tasks.

Illness: Do I (or did I) have a disease or do I have symptoms of a disease that hinder me in carrying out my work?

Medication: Have I taken prescribed medications that affect my alertness or my ability to perform my tasks?

Stress: Am I under such psychological pressure, related to work or private life, that it affects my ability to work?

Alcohol: Did I consume alcohol or drugs within the last 12 hours prior to the ROV/drone Operations?

Fatigue: Do I experience any kind of fatigue that affects my ability to perform this ROV/drone Operations?

Eating: Have I eaten enough and a good condition?

DroneQ Robotics has a zero tolerance policy for the use of soft or hard drugs and after drinking such a quantity of alcohol: that a litre of exhaled air contains 90 μg or more. That more than 0.2 mg of alcohol is detected per millilitre of blood. When assigned to any project, DroneQ Robotics has a zero tolerance for consuming alcohol for the duration of the ROV/drone project.

1.2.1 Hours of Operation

ROV/drone Operations require the full concentration of all ROV/drone team members at all times. In order to maintain ROV/drone Operations at peak performance, ROV/drone pilots shall perform no more than a maximum of four continuous hours of dive/fly time. ROV/drone Operations shall then be terminated or ROV/drone pilots will be rotated. After a one hour break, the original ROV/drone Pilot can return for another four hour period of ROV/drone Operations.

ROV/drone Operations can be performed during the day or night, but each ROV/drone Pilot shall be given the opportunity to acquire at least eight hours of continuous sleep per day. Normal work hours for personnel engaged in ROV/drone Operations should not exceed twelve hours during any twenty-four hour period.

 

1.3 DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT

The HSEE policy is reviewed, approved and published by the Accountable Manager (policy owner) on yearly base. Social, safety- , health-, environmental organizational development may be reason for changes to the policy. A proper change management procedure will be followed.

COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

DroneQ, its employees and/or (sub) contractors, hereinafter referred to as “DroneQ”, shall:

  • … At all times refrain from engaging in activities that could harm the data protection, general interests and reputation of DroneQ and its partners and/or customers in any manner, and make maximum efforts to avoid loss of data from DroneQ and or its partners and/or customers.

WHICH PERSONAL DATA IS COLLECTED

We need certain personal information to provide you with the best possible products and services and to inform you about our products and services. Some of this information is provided directly by you, for example when you create an account or request a quote. When you request an account or a quote, we process the following information:

  • E-mail address;
  • Fixed and mobile telephone number;
  • Business address;
  • Company name;
  • Business Unit;

RPAS OPERATIONS

The following shall be observed for flying at the top of contiguous buildings. The following points are also indicated in the flight plan or flight mission:

  • At least 7 (seven) weeks in advance, the municipality and the government concerned will be informed of the flight to be carried out. The flight plan, flight mission and risk analysis are also provided to both institutions. (the municipality will publish the planned flight.)
  • At least 6 (six) weeks in advance, residents are informed of the flight to be carried out. Residents will also have the opportunity to lodge any objection.
  • At least 4 (four) weeks in advance, an information meeting will take place. During this meeting, the residents concerned will be fully informed of the flight to be carried out. Among other things, the following is reported:

DroneQ Aerial Services may process personal data on the basis of complying with an agreement with customers. However, photos of persons may in some cases fall under the category of biometric data and in that case are special personal data. There are other rules for this. In that case, complying with an agreement is not sufficient reason to be able to process this data.

DroneQ Aerial Services can use agreements with both the owner of the building and the building user in which permission is given that images showing personal data may be processed. Consent is in all cases valid reason to be able to process personal data. The use of a controlled ground area prevents unauthorized people from entering the flight area. This also reduces the risk of people being photographed against their will (although unintentionally).

Each photo taken uses a blurring tool to make windows, faces, license plates and other personal data unrecognizable. However, the removal of personal data is also covered by the processing of personal data. This is why it still takes a valid reason to process this personal data. Of course, the residents have the right to get (limited) access to the images made.
