Overseas Travel

Many of us barely consider the risks that can arise from travelling overseas on business.

The kinds of risks involved depend upon different factors, such as the journey time, the time of arrival and mode of transport. Our destination may also present its own challenges. Tiredness and stress are also factors that should not be ignored by the traveller, especially if driving yourself. Tiredness can be caused by the actual journey time and by jet lag resulting from time differences. Stress can be caused by the travel conditions and also by having to adjust to a different environment at the destination, so ensure that adequate time is allowed for travel and that a time interval is allowed for recovery after arrival.

The purpose of this guidance is to alert travellers to risks that may be associated with travel, and to help them minimize such risks by thinking ahead and introducing simple preventative measures.
