Overview

 

Too often, employees on overseas trips are ‘out of sight, out of mind.’ The assumption that they’re simply having a trip out of the office means safety management is overlooked — by employers, colleagues, and even the traveller themselves.

 

The webinar highlights the importance of structured pre-travel planning, destination risk assessment, training, health considerations, emergency protocols, and clear communication responsibilities. 

 

With international travel making a strong return, the session is a timely reminder that travel for work is still work — and safety responsibilities don’t stop at the airport gate.
