6/6/24, 3:26 PM International SOS encourages organisations to prioritise pilgrim health and safety during Hajj 2024 with vital precautions

• Educate employees on the risks of extreme temperatures: To mitigate the effects of
potentially extreme temperatures, pilgrims should prioritise staying hydrated. Choosing

lightweight and light-coloured clothing helps regulate body temperature and reduce heat

stress.
• Ensure crowd and emergency preparedness: Provide employees with a crowd management

guide along with tips for navigating densely populated areas. Encourage pilgrims to save

emergency contact information for police, ambulance services, embassy officials and local

contacts on their mobile phones in case immediate assistance is needed.
