Anyone of us might be exposed to a dangerous or high risk situation at some point in their lives, however the risks of such are higher for Executive/Senior Management, expatriates, and international business travellers. Domestic and international terrorism, civil unrest, kidnap for ransom, targetted business reprisals, identity theft, scams, opportunistic street crime, accidents and natural disasters are just some of the potential issues that we can all face at any time - particularly whilst travelling.

With proper planning, support resources, staff briefings and security awareness training in place, companies can mitigate these risks to reduce the exposure of their personnel. And should the unthinkable still happen, it is the pre-trip planning, training and availability of support resources that are critical to keep the traveller properly advised, calm and safe.

Under the UK's Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act, an organisation can be convicted where a gross failure in the way activities - including travel - were managed or organised, resulting in a person's death. US companies are also bound by their own country's laws and face similar legal actions should negligence have occurred.
