Dronedesk allows you to create risk assessment templates, which can be selected and added to jobs when they are created.
When creating a new job, you'll see a dropdown menu where you can select the appropriate risk assessment template for that job. Once selected, the template is added to the job. From there, the assigned pilot can still modify any part of the risk assessment for that specific job.
To set up your risk assessment templates:
Go to the top-right menu, select Settings, then click Risk Assessments
You can create as many templates as you need
There are three risk assessment formats available:
A Standard 4-column layout
Predefined templates depending on your jurisdiction
ORA/OSC formats, which include additional columns for fields such as "As Low As Reasonably Practicable" and "Tolerable"
The system includes a basic default risk assessment, but it's strongly recommended that you review and tailor the risks to suit your own operations.
Edit risk descriptions by typing directly into the field and tabbing out to auto-save
Reorder risks by dragging them to a new position
Delete risks that are not relevant
Add new risks using the Add button
Optionally, group risks using heading rows to visually organise the list
You can choose to:
Pre-score the risks using a standard 5x5 matrix (probability vs severity)
Or leave all scores set to 0, in which case the pilot is expected to score each risk individually when managing the job
Once your risk assessment is configured:
You can rename the template
You can create copies for variations in project types or jurisdictions
After saving, your new risk assessment template will be available to select during job creation. It will then be added to the job for use by the assigned team.
