Online training to help keep travellers safe

More and more of us are travelling for work, study or pleasure and in an ever changing world, travel risks are constantly changing too. So, while most trips are usually incident free, it’s still important that travellers know what to do if an incident occurs. For organisations and employers, your duty-of-care to your employees, contractors, expats and volunteer workers means doing the right things to safeguard your people. Ensuring they are informed about the risks they could face and aware of the behaviours and conduct that can help keep them safe gives your travellers the confidence to face unfamiliar situations and locations and helps ensure that even small incidents do not escalate into crises.

With over 30 years experience of Risk Management to draw on, Securewest’s interactive, online Travel Risk Awareness course focuses on practical information to give travellers the knowledge to recognise potential risks, guidance on how to reduce those risks and advice on what to do should an incident occur.

The course is designed to be viewed across multiple devices and is divided into a series of modules so users can learn where and whenever they want. Its style is engaging and interactive with informative videos and case studies that aid learning. Short quizzes in each module allow learners to measure their progress and confirm their understanding, and a final multiple choice assessment tests their knowledge. Reporting on candidate progress and final attainment can provide organisations with an audit trail for compliance purposes.

The course is SCORM compliant and can be accessed online via a secure portal or delivered directly by an organisations own Learning Management System (LMS).
