What should Remote Control Operators do if they cannot see their work area?

Relying on video feeds or team communication for guidance is the correct approach for Remote Control Operators when they cannot see their work area. This option emphasizes the use of technology and teamwork, which are critical in ensuring safe and effective operations in scenarios where visibility is compromised.

Video feeds provide real-time visual information that can guide the operator in making informed decisions about their actions, even when direct visibility is not available. Additionally, communication with team members allows for information sharing and collaborative problem-solving, ensuring that all parties are aware of the situation and can assist each other to achieve operational goals safely.

Using intuition to guess the best course of action can lead to unsafe choices, especially in situations that require precise maneuvering and safety considerations. Pausing all operations until visibility improves might not always be feasible or practical, especially in time-sensitive situations. Asking a nearby operator for assistance may help, but it is most effective when combined with the use of video feeds and team communication to provide a clear understanding of the situation.
