Over the past decade, construction companies have been using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) extensively as a tool for data collection. While UAVs are being used on construction job sites on daily basis, there is no comprehensive quantitative method to measure the risks of flying UAVs over a specific area on a job site. Despite some work in quantifying direct risk of UAV flights, indirect risks of flying UAVs have been completely ignored. This paper presents a model for measuring indirect risks of UAV flights that are primarily associated with proximity between construction workers and UAVs. The proposed model is applied to a case study, using Monte Carlo simulation, and the results show the applicability of the model to a construction job site environment.
