Rethinking Risk: The Hidden Cost of Working at Height

Rethinking Risk: The Hidden Cost of Working at Height

For decades, cleaning tall buildings and industrial structures has relied on dangerous manual access with scaffolding, rope teams and elevated platforms. However, every time someone straps into a harness and steps off the ground, there is real risk.

At Aspira, we believe there's a better way.

A recent study by HSE (the governing Health and Safety body in the United Kingdom) has found that working at heights remains one of the most hazardous activities across industries. Falls from height are a leading cause of workplace injury and fatality in sectors like construction, facilities maintenance and energy.

It's not just the human cost. Risky operations slow down productivity, require extensive compliance and inflate insurance and labour costs.

Despite advance in tech, many maintenance and cleaning tasks still rely on outdated methods. Why? Because alternatives haven't always been practical...until now.

Aspira's cleaning and spraying drones are built to eliminate the need for human access to elevated or hard to reach surfaces. Our systems allow building operators and infrastructure owners to take control of their cleaning and spraying operations with powerful aerial platforms that stay grounded in safety.

No ropes. No lifts. No lives at risk.

Our customers use Aspira drones to spray and clean everything from high rise glass facades to rooftops, solar panels and offshore wind turbines, all from the safety of the ground.

Modern drone technology doesn't just remove people from danger. It unlocks a faster, smarter and more sustainable approach to asset maintenance. 

We're focused on giving your team the tools to do their job better, safer and on their own terms. The era of manual high risk maintenance is ending.
