Encourage employees to take precautions to prevent heatstroke: Promote sun
protection practices and remind travellers of the importance of hydration.

Food Safety Risks

Inform employees of food safety risks whilst travelling: Food poisoning peaks during
the summer months due to warmer temperatures. Advise travellers to exercise caution
with unfamiliar food and water sources. Bottled water and thoroughly cooked meals are
generally safer options.

The surge in summer travel underscores the importance of prioritising employee safety
and fostering a strong security awareness culture within organisations. By conducting
comprehensive destination research, travellers can equip themselves with knowledge of
local security risks. This knowledge empowers travellers to make informed decisions
and minimise their vulnerability to threats. Unfamiliar environments can heighten the
risk of security threats, emphasising the need for robust personal security measures.
