Translating Standards into Action

by Ionut Voicu


In the previous sections, we explored the importance of travel security and how the ISO 31030 standard provides a framework for organizations to fulfill their duty of care. Now, let's bridge the gap between standards and practical solutions.

A Commitment to Success


Remember my arrival in El Geneina? The flash floods had disrupted everything, creating a surreal disaster zone. Despite the heightened dangers, the mission to facilitate peace talks between warring factions couldn't be delayed. The potential to save lives hung in the balance.


The real-time risk assessment had identified the potential for flash floods, and alternative routes were planned in advance. Local UN security officers, were already on high alert and provided crucial ground support, navigating the delegation safely through the floodwaters to the meeting location.


The peace talks were a success. Lives were saved, and a cease fire agreement was established. This success story is a testament to the power of a proactive approach to travel security, guided by mature standards and implemented by experienced professionals.


In conclusion, prioritizing employee safety during business travel is not just a moral imperative, it's a smart business decision. By developing an in-house TRM programme or partenering with a specialised provider, you can ensure your employees travel with confidence, focusing on achieving business goals. Let them explore the world, knowing they are protected by a shield forged in experience and guided by the wisdom of robust travel security practices.
