A safe travel policy is essential for ensuring the health and safety of your staff while they are travelling, and protecting your company should things go wrong. If your company is sending staff abroad - even just within Europe - you need to be "Planet Wise":

• Do you have processes and procedures in place to ensure your employees, your equipment and your data stay safe while they are travelling?

• Have you taken steps to prepare your employees for their trip, with information on the countries and cultures they are visiting?

• Do you – and your staff – know what to do if there is an emergency involving one of your staff abroad?

Planet Wise will make sure you can answer "yes" to all these questions. We will develop a tailored travel safety strategy for your company, implementing processes and administration to keep your staff, your equipment and your data safe while travelling. These straightforward, auditable procedures will help you ensure you can demonstrate due diligence and care for your travelling employees.

Documentation - Travellers learn what to take, how to carry it safely and how to handle back-up copies. Feel confident to deal with officialdom and have a "proof of life" pack assembled back in the UK for serious incidents. Equipment - Learn how to protect company information, electronic equipment and sort out travellers' own belongings. We'll show travellers what to take and the safest way to transport it. A to B & Zzzzs - Planes, trains, hire cars and taxis will be thoroughly discussed for safe travel. We'll also cover hotel safety such as basic security considerations and actions in the event of a building fire. Health & Hygiene - Over half of business trips result in illness which can affect staff performance. We'll show travellers how to avoid getting ill in the first place - as well as actions should these measures fail. First Aid - From advice about dehydration to insect bites we cover the basics to keep people going. We can also provide first aid training and information on remote medicine if a destination is off the beaten track.

From positioning yourself in airports and train stations to avoiding being targeted by criminals, these techniques reduce personal risk.
