NGOs frequently send employees, volunteers and contractors to complex or higher-risk environments. A structured approach to travel risk management can help organisations protect their people, demonstrate duty of care and understand how their risk management arrangements may affect liability and insurance coverage.
In this on-demand webinar, GSA Global and Healix bring together experts from the NGO, legal, insurance, security and travel risk sectors to examine what adopting ISO 31030 and the emerging ISO 31031 guidance means for NGOs, particularly in relation to risk exposure, liability, and insurance coverage.

By watching this webinar, you will gain a better understanding of:
- The particular travel risk management challenges faced by NGOs operating in complex and higher-risk environments
- How NGOs can strengthen their approach to protecting employees and volunteers
- How ISO 31030 can support a structured and proportionate approach to travel risk management

Travel Risk Management Questions for NGOs to Consider
As you watch the webinar, consider the following questions:
- Does our organisation have a clearly defined travel risk management framework?
- Who is accountable for the safety and security of employees and volunteers travelling?
- Are our travel policies appropriate for the locations and environments in which we operate?
- How consistently do we assess destination, individual and activity-specific risks?
- Are travellers given suitable information, training and support before departure?
- Do we have effective procedures for communicating with and locating travellers during an incident?
- How well prepared are we to respond to a medical, security or wider crisis overseas?
- Do our insurance arrangements reflect the nature of our operations and the risks faced by our travellers?
- Are there any gaps between our insurance requirements and our current travel risk management arrangements?
- Could we demonstrate that reasonable and proportionate steps had been taken if a serious incident occurred?
- How closely do our existing arrangements align with the guidance provided by ISO 31030?
