Drone Safety
Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones, used to seem like far-off futuristic technology, but today, there are hundreds of thousands flying across the skies. While drones can be safe when used correctly, they may pose serious risks near electrical equipment or power lines. Flying drones close to wires, substations, or other equipment may cause serious damage and pose significant safety risks to you or other people nearby. If your drone does veer off course and crash near or into EPE equipment, never try to retrieve it yourself.
