Typical hazards & measures
- Business travel fatigue — Plan travel with rest periods, avoid red-eye flights without buffer time, and provide guidance on time zone recovery. Use accommodation near client sites and flexible schedules after long-haul trips. Train staff in fatigue recognition.
- Lone working at client sites — Require staff to check in/out via phone or app; set response timelines and escalation contacts. Brief on staying in public areas when possible and identifying safe exits. Prohibit after-hours visits alone unless pre-approved.
- Catering and allergy risks during meetings — Collect dietary information in advance; order sealed, labelled meals; provide allergy alerts. Keep emergency contacts, EpiPens if prescribed, and first aiders trained in anaphylaxis response. Choose reputable caterers and avoid cross-contamination.
- Client premises unfamiliarity — Conduct a dynamic risk assessment on arrival; locate exits, first aid, and toilets. Ask hosts about hazards like construction zones or pets. Wear appropriate PPE if required. Set clear meeting boundaries and note security rules in advance.
- Reliance on personal vehicles — Ensure vehicles are insured, roadworthy, and serviced. Keep breakdown cover, reflective vests, and first aid kits. Plan routes with secure parking near client sites. Minimise valuables in cars and lock laptops in the boot.
