DJI Agras T 40 Spray Drone Chemical Application Risk Assessment

Product Overview

This risk assessment covers chemical application using a DJI Agras T 40 spray drone, including planning, chemical handling, flight operations, battery work, maintenance and closeout. It supports planning and risk management by identifying hazards associated with chemicals, rotating parts, flight conditions, spray drift, electrical equipment, contamination and emergency response.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

• Assess the treatment area, launch zone, nearby work areas, weather, access and emergency-response arrangements.
• Complete authorisation, competency and pre-start checks of the drone, controller and spray system.
• Transport, store, identify and handle chemicals while managing spills, exposure, incompatible products and fire hazards.
• Mix, load and fill the spray drone while managing splashes, aerosols, leaks, manual handling and cross-contamination.
• Manage launch, take-off and landing areas to control rotating parts, uneven ground, equipment and unauthorised entry.
• Carry out chemical application flights while managing spray drift, airborne mist, obstacles, communication loss and unstable flight.
• Charge and swap batteries while managing fire, thermal events, shock, burns and charging-location hazards.
• Refill, maintain and rectify faults while managing moving parts, chemical residue, pressure, leaks and damaged equipment.
• Decontaminate equipment and manage waste, wash-down, residual chemicals and potential cross-contamination at closeout.
