Drone Use Clause Samples

Drone Use. Whenever the Company is using drones for any purpose, it will ensure that the drone pilot determines whether there is any Entergy work of any type being conducted anywhere within the broadest area of the drone flight. If so, the drone pilot shall consult the Senior Lineman or other senior employee on the job site in order to explain the drone work. The drone pilot and crew members involved will coordinate their JHAs to insure all members present are on the same page. The drone pilot shall coordinate their work with the Senior Lineman or other senior employee on the job site for a specific time frame within which to operate the drone in the affected area and must notify that Senior Lineman or other senior employee immediately before the start of any drone operation. A Senior Lineman or other senior employee on such a job site shall not allow the operation of a drone in any affected area while any energized work or other critical tasks are being performed, or when the safety of any employees may be affected by the operation of the drone. The drone pilot must be licensed as such by the FAA, and will only capture pictures and video, without sound, for routing to the Safety Department. Any safety issue involving bargaining unit employees identified by the pictures or video will be reviewed with the Senior Lineman on that job for appropriate coaching. If repetitive safety issues are identified after coaching has been provided, it will be reported to the local supervisor and management.
