Product Overview

This risk assessment covers planning and managing hazards associated with DJI Agras T100 spray drone chemical application. It supports the allocation of responsibilities, site and flight planning, chemical controls, emergency preparation and ongoing review of risks.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Allocate responsibilities for spray-drone operations and related chemical, aviation and environmental matters
Coordinate remote pilots, spotters, chemical handlers, ground crew and nearby duty holders
Confirm operator, observer and ground-crew competency for their assigned tasks
Plan operating areas, airspace considerations, launch and landing locations, and site hazards
Select, mix, label, handle and store chemicals for the planned application
Identify drift conditions, sensitive areas and treated-area access controls
Inspect the aircraft, payload, propellers, spray system and flight-control functions
Manage battery charging, changeovers and associated electrical equipment
Prepare responses for chemical exposure, spills, battery incidents, crashes and unplanned landings
Report, review and address defects, near misses, drift events and changing site information

Who is this for?

For contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses involved in DJI Agras T100 spray drone chemical application and related site activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Governance	No clear allocation of WHS, aviation, chemical-use and environmental responsibilities between the PCBU, property operator, remote pilot and contractors. Spray operations being accepted on commercial pressure without confirming that the DJI Agras T100, proposed chemical and operating area are suitable and authorised. Local state or territory chemical-application, environmental or aviation requirements being assumed rather than checked.
Consultation and Coordination	Workers, contractors, neighbours and other duty holders are not told about aerial spraying, exclusion zones, drift risk or changed site conditions. Poor coordination between the remote pilot, spotter, chemical handler and ground crew causes people or vehicles to enter the launch, landing or spray area. Other agricultural, forestry, construction, aviation or public activities occur within or near the operating area without shared controls.
Competency and Authorisation	An untrained or unauthorised person operates the aircraft, manages automated flight functions, mixes chemicals, changes batteries or performs maintenance. Remote pilots rely on obstacle-avoidance, terrain-following, GNSS, RTK or automated route functions without understanding their limitations. Visual observers and ground crew are not competent to recognise aircraft, chemical, weather, powerline, livestock or public-exposure risks.
Airspace and Site Planning	Inadequate planning allows the drone to enter unsuitable airspace, collide with other aircraft, strike powerlines or operate near people, roads, buildings or public areas. Site information is incomplete or outdated, resulting in missed wires, towers, fences, trees, irrigation equipment, terrain changes or temporary hazards. The launch and landing area is selected without adequate separation from workers, livestock, vehicles, chemical handling or overhead hazards.
Chemical Management	Incorrect chemical selection, mixing rate, tank concentration or application rate creates worker exposure, crop damage, environmental harm or ineffective pest control. Workers handle concentrates, spray mixtures or contaminated equipment without current labels, SDS, suitable PPE, wash facilities or spill controls. Incompatible chemicals are stored or mixed together, or chemicals are decanted into unlabelled containers.
Spray Drift and Environmental Protection	Weather, temperature inversions, unsuitable droplet size, excessive pressure, unsuitable height or route-planning errors result in spray drift or off-target movement. Sensitive areas, waterways, livestock, neighbouring crops, residences, roads or public places are not identified or adequately protected. Workers or other persons enter treated areas before the label re-entry period has elapsed.
Plant and Flight Control Systems	The large aircraft mass, spray payload, propellers, rotor wash or pressurised spray system causes injury because inspection, exclusion-zone or maintenance controls are inadequate. Excessive payload, incorrect tank loading, degraded batteries, damaged propellers, leaks, poor calibration or software faults lead to loss of control, crash or unintended chemical release. Loss of GNSS, RTK, control signal, route data or telemetry is not managed, resulting in fly-away, collision, spraying outside the planned area or unplanned landing.
Battery, Electrical and Fuel Systems	Lithium battery damage, overheating, incorrect charging, poor storage or unsuitable field charging results in thermal runaway, fire, burns or toxic smoke exposure. Generator, inverter, leads or charging equipment is damaged, overloaded, poorly earthed or exposed to weather, causing electric shock, fire or loss of critical aircraft support. Battery changeovers and charging occur near chemicals, fuel, dry vegetation, ignition sources or occupied areas.
Emergency Preparedness	Workers are unable to respond effectively to chemical exposure, spill, battery fire, aircraft crash, collision, loss of control or unplanned landing. Remote sites have inadequate communications, first aid, wash facilities, emergency contacts, site access information or rescue arrangements. Emergency actions are not coordinated, leading to secondary exposure, uncontrolled public access, environmental contamination or delayed medical treatment.
Monitoring and Review	Defects, near misses, drift events, chemical exposures and unsafe practices are not reported, investigated or corrected. Risk assessments, maps, SDS, labels, training records, maintenance schedules and emergency information become outdated. Repeated issues with weather decisions, route planning, aircraft reliability, chemical handling or contractor performance are not identified.
