Drone Cleaning Safety: Industry-Leading Protocols & FAA Compliance
How DRONEWASH+ ensures a safe, legal operation on every flight.
Drone Cleaning Safety & FAA Compliance: The DRONEWASH+ Zero-Risk Standard
For a facility manager at an industrial site or a high-security venue, safety isn't just a checkbox—it’s the entire conversation.
At DRONEWASH+, our industry leadership is built on standardized safety systems and a Zero Risk Policy. We don’t just fly cleaning drones—we operate sophisticated aerial maintenance teams trained to integrate into the most demanding environments in the United States.
Construction Job Site Integration
Our crews are trained to operate within active construction environments. We coordinate directly with site leads to ensure our missions are clear and communicated fully. We utilize full PPE, adhere to OSHA standards, and follow strict site-entry protocols to ensure our work never compromises safety or disrupts other trades on the ground.
High-Security & Sensitive Projects
We have a proven track record of operating at high-profile venues like Empower Field at Mile High. These projects require more than just flight skills; they require background clearances, constant communication with stadium security, and strict adherence to sensitive site protocols.
Complex FAA Restricted Airspaces
DRONEWASH+ handles all FAA communication and clearance procedures, including obtaining approvals for flight within restricted airspaces and Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) zones. We work directly with the FAA and local Air Traffic Control to ensure every mission is fully authorized and legally compliant.
