Offer security briefings and heightened situational awareness: Provide pre-departure briefings
on security protocols, situational awareness practices and cultural sensitivities. Develop contingency

plans to address potential travel disruptions during the Hajj.
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.
