Safety Precautions During LiDAR Site Scans

While LiDAR scanning is generally non-invasive, certain safety measures should be followed during onsite scanning to ensure smooth operations and prevent disruptions.

Important precautions include:

• Area preparation – Ensure the space is clear of obstructions and safe for equipment setup.
• Access control – Limit foot traffic in scanning zones to reduce risk and data distortion.
• Protective equipment – While LiDAR is safe, staff may use protective gear for environments with unstable structures.
• Time scheduling – Scanning should occur during off-hours or non-peak times for active venues.
• Site briefing – Inform stakeholders or occupants about the scanning process and any temporary access limitations.

These protocols help ensure efficient scans without compromising safety. It also ensures that the data captured remains free from movement errors or visual obstructions that may reduce model accuracy.
