Protect your people. Strengthen your duty of care.
No two trips have the same risks – even if you’re a seasoned traveller or have been to the destination before. A travel risk assessment provides a framework for organisations to identify potential risks associated with each trip.
At World Travel Protection, we conduct thorough, practical pre-travel risk assessments for corporate, and academic travel – helping you fulfil your duty of care obligations and keep your travellers safe.
What’s included in a travel risk assessment?
The primary objective of a travel risk assessment is to safeguard the health and safety of your travellers by proactively mitigating risks. It ensures that your travel policy meets your organisation’s duty of care obligations for travellers abroad, utilising the ISO 31030 travel risk management framework.
Our approach to travel risk assessment evaluates risk through three key lenses:
Traveller
Factors like age, gender, sexuality, religion, and health status all affect risk exposure.
Destination
Each location presents distinct threats, from political unrest and crime to natural disasters.
Activity
Business or leisure activities – along with local sentiment – can influence the likelihood of risk.

Developed using World Travel Protection’s proven travel risk management framework, this self-assessment supports your organisation’s duty of care compliance while safeguarding your travellers’ health and safety. It will allow you to evaluate the strength of your travel risk management program and align it with the ISO 31030 industry framework.
Assessing travel risk
By assessing the risks associated with corporate and scholastic travel to a particular destination, organisations and schools can make informed decisions and ensure they are fulfilling their duty of care obligations.
Once the risks have been assessed, a plan must be set out to mitigate them. This may involve choosing a different destination, mode of transportation, or accommodation, as well as partnering with a travel risk management company who has experience solving complex issues and handling emergencies abroad.
Align with ISO 31030
The ISO 31030 is an industry-first best practice framework that helps organisations evaluate and manage their travel risks effectively. We’ve developed a Self-Assessment Guide and Masterclass to help you and your team evaluate the strength of your organisation’s duty of care compliance against the ISO 31030 industry standard.
