Healix launches Travel Safe tool to identify personalised business travel risk
Tool protects travelling employees and ensures compliance with ISO 31030
Healix, a global provider of travel risk management and international medical, security and travel assistance services, has launched its online tool, Healix Travel Safe.
The tool will support employers in protecting their employees who are travelling for work.
Healix Travel Safe tool provides a comprehensive assessment based on analysis of the employee’s unique profile, relevant medical history and proposed itinerary to identify those who may be at increased risk of encountering various dangers and their likely impact.
By simply completing a confidential, online questionnaire, employees will receive an instantly available assessment which they can download, along with advice and guidance on steps they can take to mitigate any risks that they will face if they proceed with the trip. A dedicated portal also enables employers to access a report detailing assessment outcomes for all employees using a traffic light system.
The new tool comes as businesses work to ensure compliance with the new ISO 31030 standard, while reassuring employees that their safety and wellbeing throughout the trip is a top priority.
Charlie Butcher, CEO at Healix International, said: “Travelling for work can be an apprehensive venture in the context of the current climate of geopolitical volatility, recent natural disasters and other risk factors.
“By aligning with the latest ISO standard businesses can ensure the safety of their people, but to do so requires a thorough assessment of both the health of the traveller and their end destination.
“It is only with a clear understanding of which employees are more vulnerable and what threats certain locations can pose that a clear plan can be built to ensure the safety of their workforce.”
