Yes. US employers have a legal obligation to protect employees in the workplace under OSHA regulations, and this duty extends to employees traveling internationally for work. While no single federal statute specifically governs corporate travel safety, organizations face significant legal and reputational exposure if they fail to take reasonable steps to protect staff traveling to high-risk locations. Many states also impose additional employer obligations under local labor and negligence law.
In practice, meeting this obligation for traveling employees typically means maintaining real-time visibility of their location, providing access to threat intelligence for the regions they're operating in, and having a documented incident response plan ready to activate when a situation develops.
What should a travel risk management policy include?
A travel risk management policy should cover: pre-travel approval and travel risk assessment requirements, country-level threat tiering, employee check-in protocols, emergency contact and escalation procedures, and the tools employees must use when traveling. Vismo’s platform can underpin each of these requirements with live tracking, automated check-ins and mass notification capability.
What should I look for in a travel risk management company?
A travel risk management company should offer real-time employee location tracking, integration with threat intelligence feeds, mass notification for large-scale incidents, and scalable travel risk management solutions that work across different risk levels and geographies. Vismo provides all of these in a single platform, with satellite device options for locations without cellular coverage.
How does Vismo support international travel risk assessment?
Vismo supports international travel risk assessment by combining real-time employee location data with partner threat intelligence feeds. Security teams can see where employees are on a live map, receive automated alerts when staff enter high-risk zones, and trigger mass notifications across the entire workforce if a major incident occurs. This gives risk managers the situational awareness they need to act before situations escalate.
