Guidance on Travel Security

Travel, both domestically and internationally, can result in personnel being exposed to dangerous and stressful situations. These could be avoided if the risks are identified and assessed within pre travel planning, accompanied by staff awareness training.

IMCA has developed this well-received document to address the common risks likely to occur when travelling and to offer sensible guidance mainly to the traveller, at whom the text is aimed predominantly, but also, particularly in respect of company procedures, for the employer.
