USA Workers Comp savings with drone use

[Chris Hale]

I subscribe to this blog. Thought this would be interesting to this group.

I have only done photo/video work so far but would like to get my foot in the door with inspection work. Any resources or advise on where to start?

Thanks.

While not entirely surprising given the media portrayal of drones, this is the first I've ever head of a company looking to use them for surveillance of their own employees.

Not sure if I was not clear but they wanted me to help them with their job, investigating disability fraud.

You were clear. At the end of the day though, this is using a drone to collect information on people (albeit people who are committing fraud). It's an interesting development in commercial UAS applications.
