WHAT IS ISO 31030:2021?
With organisations starting to consider returning to travel and how to go about this safely, this new ISO standard, provides vital guidance to protect the workforce. The standard, ISO 31030:2021, provides a structured approach to the development, implementation, evaluation and review of a travel risk management policy and programme, as well as an assessment and treatment of travel risks.
Why it Matters?
By promoting a culture where travel-related risk is taken seriously, resourced adequately, and managed effectively, the standard aims to garner recognised and realised benefits such as:
- Contributing to business continuity capability and organisational resilience
- Improve worker confidence in travel-related health, safety and security arrangements
- Enabling business in high risk locations
- Enhancing an organisation’s reputation and credibility – leading to a positive effect on competitiveness, staff turnover and talent acquisition
- Reducing legal and financial exposure
- Increasing general productivity
- Contributing to meeting the sustainable development goals by strengthening the social dimension of sustainability
