Travel security

Numerous (and recent) cases have seen casualties among employees of foreign companies posted abroad, in crisis areas, highlighting the need to ensure the protection of the health and 'safety of workers abroad.

In recent years, the opening of new markets hitherto unthinkable, the persistent phenomenon of international terrorism - which all too often targets foreign technicians and employees or, at any rate, workers of foreign companies -, the’exacerbation of the phenomena of religious intransigence in various geographical areas, the outbreak and spread of the Pandemic, the numerous conflict situations characterizing the political situation in various countries, have heightened the need to safeguard the security of relocators, not only from the physical point of view, but also from that of preserving them from incurring unpleasant situations.

Hence the need to address the issues inherent in the so-called “Travel Security Management” and corporate responsibility, also and especially to avoid the’arising of liability, both civil and criminal.
