ISO 31030:2021 - Travel risk management (Overview)
ISO 31030:2021 provides practical guidance for organizations to identify, assess and treat risks associated with work‑related travel. It helps organizations establish a structured travel risk management (TRM) programme - from policy and programme development through risk assessment, prevention, mitigation and review - to meet duty of care obligations for travellers. The standard is applicable to any organization type or size (commercial, charitable, governmental, NGO, educational) and excludes tourism/leisure travel except when undertaken on behalf of the organization.
Key topics and technical requirements
ISO 31030 is guidance-based and is aligned with ISO 31000 (risk management principles) and ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety). Major thematic areas include:
- Context and stakeholders
- Understanding operating context, traveller populations and stakeholder roles.
- Leadership, policy and governance
- Senior commitment, clear travel risk policy, roles, responsibilities and accountability.
- Programme lifecycle
- Planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and continual improvement of TRM programmes.
- Travel risk assessment
- Systematic risk identification, analysis and evaluation specific to travel exposures.
- Risk treatment options
- Avoidance (e.g., pre‑travel authorizations, restrictions), reduction (training, medical and security controls), and sharing (insurance, specialist cover).
- Operational controls
- Accommodation selection, transportation safety, journey management, information security and privacy.
- Preparedness and response
- Traveller tracking, incident management, evacuation and kidnap & ransom planning, medical/security support services.
- Communication, recording and metrics
- Strategic communications, operational protocols, programme metrics, benchmarking and reporting.
Practical applications - who uses ISO 31030
ISO 31030 is used by organizations to design proportionate travel risk management that supports business objectives while protecting travellers. Typical users and applications:
- Risk managers, travel managers and EHS/security teams - to build or formalize TRM programmes, pre‑travel authorization workflows, and traveller tracking.
- HR, legal and compliance - to define duty of care, insurance and policy requirements.
- Operational teams and field managers - to apply journey management, accommodation selection and incident escalation procedures.
- Executives and boards - to understand travel risk appetite, governance and reporting.
Benefits include improved traveller safety, reduced operational disruption, documented duty of care and better-informed travel decision‑making.

Introduction
This document is intended to assist those managing and participating in organizational travel. The
management of travel risk is a component of any organization’s travel-related activities and should
include interaction with stakeholders.
There are many reasons why people travel for their organization. Travelling has increasingly become
a common feature of people’s jobs or functions. Consequently, organizations need to meet their duty of
care across multiple jurisdictions in different parts of the world.
Travellers, whether international or domestic, can be faced with unfamiliar situations and environments
that have different risk profiles to those of their normal location. Road accidents, disease outbreaks,
epidemics and natural disasters, as well as conflict, crime (including cyber and information), cyber
threats, terrorism and political and socially motivated instability, can threaten the safety, security
(including information security) and health (including mental health) of travellers, and can adversely
affect the outcome of their travel objectives.
NOTE Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to security also includes information security.
Managing risks for travel to a country where the organization has no local base requires more
comprehensive controls than for locations where risk profiles are well known and treatments have
already been established. Timeliness and accuracy of intelligence, analysis and advice, including travel
warnings, are increasingly important in influencing travel decisions.
Travel risk management (TRM) requires that organizations anticipate and assess the potential for
events, develop treatments and communicate anticipated risk exposures to their travellers. Advising
and providing travellers with adequate medical and emergency response guidance, security and
information security precautions, including challenges to travel logistics, can significantly impact the
outcome of disruptive events.
This document provides a means for organizations to demonstrate that travel decisions are based on
the organization’s capacity to treat risk using internal resources or with external assistance. Not all
travel requires the same level of rigour for risk assessment and management. Although this document
provides a comprehensive set of risk treatment options that an organization can consider, application
should be reasoned and proportionate to the risk exposure. This will help the organization and
individual travellers realize the opportunities and benefits for which travel is required.
This document proposes that the organization’s overall appetite and acceptance of risk should not take
precedence, or be used exclusively, in deciding whether travel is appropriate for security, safety or
health reasons.
This document is based on the principles, framework and process of ISO 31000, as illustrated in
Figure 1. Travel-related risk presents a specific context and an organization’s existing risk management
process can be adapted to reflect this. It is also aligned with the core occupational health and safety
management system set out in ISO 45001. As such, elements of this document can assist or inform
organizations developing such management systems, but it is not a management system standard.
This document can be used on a standalone basis or integrated within other risk management
programmes.

Figure 1 — Principles, framework and process
One of the aims of this document is to promote a culture where travel-related risk is taken seriously,
resourced adequately, and managed effectively. And where the benefits to the organization and relevant
stakeholders are recognized. Such benefits include:
— protecting personnel, data, intellectual property and assets;
— reducing legal and financial exposure;
— enabling business in high-risk locations;
— enhancing an organization’s reputation and credibility, which in turn can have a positive effect on
competitiveness, staff turnover and talent acquisition;
— improving worker confidence in health, safety and security arrangements with regard to travel;
— contributing to business continuity capability and organizational resilience;
— demonstrating the organization’s ability to control its travel-related risks effectively and efficiently,
which can also help in lowering its insurance premiums;
— providing assurance to business partners, thus banks and investors will be more willing to finance
its business;
— enabling the organization to meet customers’ expectations in terms of the security and stability of
their supply chain;
— increasing general productivity;
— contributing to meeting the sustainable development goals by strengthening the social dimension
of sustainability.
In this document, the following verbal forms are used:
a) “should” indicates a recommendation;
b) “may” indicates a permission;
c) “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.
Information marked as “NOTE” is intended to assist the understanding or use of the document.

4 Understanding the organization and its context
4.1 Operating context
4.1.1 General
It is important that an organization has a clear understanding of the factors that can affect or influence
its TRM programme objectives, including the external and internal context in which it operates.
The external context can include, but is not limited to:
a) political, socio-economic, cultural, religious/ethical, legal or regulatory factors, whether
international, national, regional or local;
b) political violence (including terrorism, insurgency, politically motivated unrest and war);
c) social unrest (including sectarian, communal and ethnic violence);
d) violent and petty crime;
e) the quality, availability and reliability of the modes of transport;
f) the quality, availability and reliability of telecommunications;
g) the state of industrial relations;
h) the effectiveness of public and private security and emergency services;
i) the responsibilities of other parties (e.g. clients) for the organization’s travellers;
j) natural or geological factors;
k) susceptibility to natural disasters;
l) potential health hazards, including epidemics and pandemics;
m) the quality of local health infrastructure and medical care;
n) information/cyber security;
o) the quality of hotel/accommodation;
p) ground/road conditions.
The internal context can include, but is not limited to, the organization’s:
— vision, mission, values and culture;
— governance, structure, roles responsibilities and accountabilities;
— strategy, objectives and policies;
— plans, standards, guidelines, regulations and instructions;
— risk management strategy and risk criteria;
— range and type of travel activities;
— capabilities, including traveller competences and profiles;
— resources, techniques and tools needed to manage organizational travel risk;
— data, information systems and information flows.
4.1.2 Industry/sector specific
The industry/sector in which an organization operates is another factor which can affect the risks faced
by travellers. An organization should be aware of the relevant legislation, regulatory requirements,
codes of practice, etc. which are relevant to their industry/sector in their country of origin and in other
countries in which they operate. It should also take account of its duty of care, business resilience
policies and arrangements and sustainability objectives, which can all have a positive effect on risk
treatment considerations.
Organizations need to proactively monitor and review their identified, evolving and emerging risks.
Their impact on the organization’s TRM should be considered and any changes recorded and acted
upon.
4.1.3 Risk profile
An organization should have a clear understanding of its risk profile and the dynamic TRM landscape
in which it operates or plans to operate. To do this, an organization should review TRM objectives in
relation to:
— context of the organization;
— the operational sector of the organization;
— specific operations or assignments, or both;
— destinations;
— individual traveller profiles and objectives.
A risk profile can incorporate different risks which can be interdependent.
The risk profile for travel should be reviewed regularly and after any significant change in the internal
and external operational context. Results should be made known through internal and external
communications.
4.2 Stakeholders
The organization should determine the internal and external stakeholders that are relevant to TRM
(see Table 1).
6 © ISO 2021 – All rights reserved
Depending on the size of the organization and its organizational travel needs, the TRM function can
be combined with other functions. Certain functions can also be supported by specialist third-party
providers.

Attention needs to be given to the traveller’s profile in relation to destinations because factors such as
race, competencies, nationality, cultural identity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, occupation,
position, disability or medical history can all affect the risks associated with the travel. The risks can
extend beyond safety and security and can also include medical and other needs.
An organization can have several different types of traveller, or group of travellers, all with varying duty
of care requirements. The TRM team should liaise closely with the organization’s human resources or
legal department to develop a full understanding of the different types of travellers. These can include,
among others:
— direct workers;
— other workers in the organization and its supply chain;
— interns and guests of the organization;
— families (and others that rely on the traveller for support, e.g. financial support) travelling with the
primary traveller;
— students/pupils of universities/schools.
The pattern of travel should also be considered, for example:
— distinguishing short-term and long-term travellers (including expatriates);
— nationally based, remote workers;
— workers on rotation.
4.4 Business objectives, risk appetite and criteria
An organization should balance its business objectives and opportunities with the steps necessary
to manage the risks and threats it encounters. Risk treatment options should be proportionate to the
level of risk foreseen or expected. An organization should consider the level of risk it is prepared to
accept to meet its business objectives and take advantage of any opportunities, while putting in place
appropriate measures to manage the risk effectively and efficiently. There can be occasions where the
level of risk is unacceptable and the travel should not take place.
The organization’s travel risk criteria should be recorded in the TRM policy.
4.5 Travel risk management and delivery
The nature and scale of an organization’s travel risk will inform how the risk is managed and delivered.
The risk profile of an organization with occasional travel to low-risk locations is very different to one
operating frequently in high-risk locations.
The risk profile will also inform the extent to which the organization can manage the risks using its
own resources or will need to rely on support from third-party providers to assist or deliver necessary
functions. This will be an important factor to address when developing and implementing a TRM policy
and programme. Due consideration should be given to providing a cost–benefit analysis to aid the
decision-making process. Further guidance on cost–benefit analysis can be found in IEC 31010.
5 Managing travel risk
5.1 Leadership and commitment
Top management should take and demonstrate ownership of the organization’s travel risks and provide
evidence of its commitment and support in their effective management by:
— taking accountability for the effectiveness of the TRM process;
— ensuring that the TRM policy and TRM objectives are established and are compatible with the
strategic direction of the organization;
— ensuring the integration of TRM into the organization’s business processes;
— ensuring that the resources needed for the TRM programme are available;
— communicating the importance of effective TRM and of conforming to the TRM process and its legal
responsibilities;
— ensuring that the TRM programme achieves its intended outcome(s);
— directing and supporting persons to contribute to the effectiveness of the TRM programme;
— supporting other relevant management roles to demonstrate their leadership as it applies to their
areas of responsibility;
— conducting, at planned intervals, management reviews of the TRM programme;
— promoting improvement.
An organization should provide instructions and adequate resources for the development and
implementation of a travel risk programme.

5.2 Policy
The TRM policy should be a high-level document that indicates the organization’s TRM strategy, which
is part of its broader risk management strategy. This policy should be fully aligned with the intentions
and direction of the organization, as formally expressed by its top management.
Top management should establish a TRM policy that:
— defines the overall principles, intention and direction to achieve objectives;
— is appropriate for the needs and resources of the organization;
— becomes an integral part of the organization’s management policy;
— is aligned with the organization’s risk management, business continuity, travel procurement and
sustainability policies;
— refers to relevant legislation, standards, policies and codes of practice;
— establishes principles for the risk assessment process;
— takes into consideration (or establishes) the risk criteria of the organization;
— defines roles, responsibilities and accountabilities of all relevant stakeholders including their
competence;
— sets out the organization’s policy with respect to off-duty time and personal leave time (both
sometimes referred to as “bleisure”) associated with any travel;
— takes into consideration the multi-traveller policy and accompanying persons when relevant.
The TRM policy should:
— be approved by top management;
— be made available to all appropriate stakeholders;
— be defined and effectively communicated within the organization through information, education
and training;
— be integrated with any broader risk management framework to ensure a consistent approach to
risk management within the organization;
— be periodically reviewed for relevance and consistent application.
In order for an organization to be agile and responsive to organizational needs, the TRM policy should
include an exception process. This should be designed to ensure that any requested exceptions to the
policy requirements are:
— considered in line with the organization’s risk appetite, priorities and other relevant criteria;
— elevated and approved by the relevant stakeholders;
— managed with compensating controls if necessary;
— recorded and reported.
For example, travellers sometimes need to book travel outside the TRM policy for some reason. In these
cases, it’s crucial that they submit a policy exception request.
It is important that the policy exception request, approval or disapproval, and any associated controls
or recommendations, are acknowledged and recorded.
If the organization uses a travel management company to make travel bookings, then the policy, the
policy exception process and any changes to either should be communicated to the travel management
company in a clear and timely manner.
5.3 Roles, responsibilities and accountability
Ultimate accountability for risk resides with top management even where responsibilities have
been delegated to others. The concept of “criminal liability” of to

Introduction
This document is intended to assist those managing and participating in organizational travel. The
management of travel risk is a component of any organization’s travel-related activities and should
include interaction with stakeholders.
There are many reasons why people travel for their organization. Travelling has increasingly become
a common feature of people’s jobs or functions. Consequently, organizations need to meet their duty of
care across multiple jurisdictions in different parts of the world.
Travellers, whether international or domestic, can be faced with unfamiliar situations and environments
that have different risk profiles to those of their normal location. Road accidents, disease outbreaks,
epidemics and natural disasters, as well as conflict, crime (including cyber and information), cyber
threats, terrorism and political and socially motivated instability, can threaten the safety, security
(including information security) and health (including mental health) of travellers, and can adversely
affect the outcome of their travel objectives.
NOTE Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to security also includes information security.
Managing risks for travel to a country where the organization has no local base requires more
comprehensive controls than for locations where risk profiles are well known and treatments have
already been established. Timeliness and accuracy of intelligence, analysis and advice, including travel
warnings, are increasingly important in influencing travel decisions.
Travel risk management (TRM) requires that organizations anticipate and assess the potential for
events, develop treatments and communicate anticipated risk exposures to their travellers. Advising
and providing travellers with adequate medical and emergency response guidance, security and
information security precautions, including challenges to travel logistics, can significantly impact the
outcome of disruptive events.
This document provides a means for organizations to demonstrate that travel decisions are based on
the organization’s capacity to treat risk using internal resources or with external assistance. Not all
travel requires the same level of rigour for risk assessment and management. Although this document
provides a comprehensive set of risk treatment options that an organization can consider, application
should be reasoned and proportionate to the risk exposure. This will help the organization and
individual travellers realize the opportunities and benefits for which travel is required.
This document proposes that the organization’s overall appetite and acceptance of risk should not take
precedence, or be used exclusively, in deciding whether travel is appropriate for security, safety or
health reasons.
This document is based on the principles, framework and process of ISO 31000, as illustrated in
Figure 1. Travel-related risk presents a specific context and an organization’s existing risk management
process can be adapted to reflect this. It is also aligned with the core occupational health and safety
management system set out in ISO 45001. As such, elements of this document can assist or inform
organizations developing such management systems, but it is not a management system standard.
This document can be used on a standalone basis or integrated within other risk management
programmes.

Figure 1 — Principles, framework and process
One of the aims of this document is to promote a culture where travel-related risk is taken seriously,
resourced adequately, and managed effectively. And where the benefits to the organization and relevant
stakeholders are recognized. Such benefits include:
— protecting personnel, data, intellectual property and assets;
— reducing legal and financial exposure;
— enabling business in high-risk locations;
— enhancing an organization’s reputation and credibility, which in turn can have a positive effect on
competitiveness, staff turnover and talent acquisition;
— improving worker confidence in health, safety and security arrangements with regard to travel;
— contributing to business continuity capability and organizational resilience;
— demonstrating the organization’s ability to control its travel-related risks effectively and efficiently,
which can also help in lowering its insurance premiums;
— providing assurance to business partners, thus banks and investors will be more willing to finance
its business;
— enabling the organization to meet customers’ expectations in terms of the security and stability of
their supply chain;
— increasing general productivity;
— contributing to meeting the sustainable development goals by strengthening the social dimension
of sustainability.
In this document, the following verbal forms are used:
a) “should” indicates a recommendation;
b) “may” indicates a permission;
c) “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.
Information marked as “NOTE” is intended to assist the understanding or use of the document.

4 Understanding the organization and its context
4.1 Operating context
4.1.1 General
It is important that an organization has a clear understanding of the factors that can affect or influence
its TRM programme objectives, including the external and internal context in which it operates.
The external context can include, but is not limited to:
a) political, socio-economic, cultural, religious/ethical, legal or regulatory factors, whether
international, national, regional or local;
b) political violence (including terrorism, insurgency, politically motivated unrest and war);
c) social unrest (including sectarian, communal and ethnic violence);
d) violent and petty crime;
e) the quality, availability and reliability of the modes of transport;
f) the quality, availability and reliability of telecommunications;
g) the state of industrial relations;
h) the effectiveness of public and private security and emergency services;
i) the responsibilities of other parties (e.g. clients) for the organization’s travellers;
j) natural or geological factors;
k) susceptibility to natural disasters;
l) potential health hazards, including epidemics and pandemics;
m) the quality of local health infrastructure and medical care;
n) information/cyber security;
o) the quality of hotel/accommodation;
p) ground/road conditions.
The internal context can include, but is not limited to, the organization’s:
— vision, mission, values and culture;
— governance, structure, roles responsibilities and accountabilities;
— strategy, objectives and policies;
— plans, standards, guidelines, regulations and instructions;
— risk management strategy and risk criteria;
— range and type of travel activities;
— capabilities, including traveller competences and profiles;
— resources, techniques and tools needed to manage organizational travel risk;
— data, information systems and information flows.
4.1.2 Industry/sector specific
The industry/sector in which an organization operates is another factor which can affect the risks faced
by travellers. An organization should be aware of the relevant legislation, regulatory requirements,
codes of practice, etc. which are relevant to their industry/sector in their country of origin and in other
countries in which they operate. It should also take account of its duty of care, business resilience
policies and arrangements and sustainability objectives, which can all have a positive effect on risk
treatment considerations.
Organizations need to proactively monitor and review their identified, evolving and emerging risks.
Their impact on the organization’s TRM should be considered and any changes recorded and acted
upon.
4.1.3 Risk profile
An organization should have a clear understanding of its risk profile and the dynamic TRM landscape
in which it operates or plans to operate. To do this, an organization should review TRM objectives in
relation to:
— context of the organization;
— the operational sector of the organization;
— specific operations or assignments, or both;
— destinations;
— individual traveller profiles and objectives.
A risk profile can incorporate different risks which can be interdependent.
The risk profile for travel should be reviewed regularly and after any significant change in the internal
and external operational context. Results should be made known through internal and external
communications.
4.2 Stakeholders
The organization should determine the internal and external stakeholders that are relevant to TRM
(see Table 1).
6 © ISO 2021 – All rights reserved
Depending on the size of the organization and its organizational travel needs, the TRM function can
be combined with other functions. Certain functions can also be supported by specialist third-party
providers.

4.3 Travelling population
Attention needs to be given to the traveller’s profile in relation to destinations because factors such as
race, competencies, nationality, cultural identity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, occupation,
position, disability or medical history can all affect the risks associated with the travel. The risks can
extend beyond safety and security and can also include medical and other needs.
An organization can have several different types of traveller, or group of travellers, all with varying duty
of care requirements. The TRM team should liaise closely with the organization’s human resources or
legal department to develop a full understanding of the different types of travellers. These can include,
among others:
— direct workers;
— other workers in the organization and its supply chain;
— interns and guests of the organization;
— families (and others that rely on the traveller for support, e.g. financial support) travelling with the
primary traveller;
— students/pupils of universities/schools.
The pattern of travel should also be considered, for example:
— distinguishing short-term and long-term travellers (including expatriates);
— nationally based, remote workers;
— workers on rotation.
4.4 Business objectives, risk appetite and criteria
An organization should balance its business objectives and opportunities with the steps necessary
to manage the risks and threats it encounters. Risk treatment options should be proportionate to the
level of risk foreseen or expected. An organization should consider the level of risk it is prepared to
accept to meet its business objectives and take advantage of any opportunities, while putting in place
appropriate measures to manage the risk effectively and efficiently. There can be occasions where the
level of risk is unacceptable and the travel should not take place.
The organization’s travel risk criteria should be recorded in the TRM policy.
4.5 Travel risk management and delivery
The nature and scale of an organization’s travel risk will inform how the risk is managed and delivered.
The risk profile of an organization with occasional travel to low-risk locations is very different to one
operating frequently in high-risk locations.
The risk profile will also inform the extent to which the organization can manage the risks using its
own resources or will need to rely on support from third-party providers to assist or deliver necessary
functions. This will be an important factor to address when developing and implementing a TRM policy
and programme. Due consideration should be given to providing a cost–benefit analysis to aid the

5 Managing travel risk
5.1 Leadership and commitment
Top management should take and demonstrate ownership of the organization’s travel risks and provide
evidence of its commitment and support in their effective management by:
— taking accountability for the effectiveness of the TRM process;
— ensuring that the TRM policy and TRM objectives are established and are compatible with the
strategic direction of the organization;
— ensuring the integration of TRM into the organization’s business processes;
— ensuring that the resources needed for the TRM programme are available;
— communicating the importance of effective TRM and of conforming to the TRM process and its legal
responsibilities;
— ensuring that the TRM programme achieves its intended outcome(s);
— directing and supporting persons to contribute to the effectiveness of the TRM programme;
— supporting other relevant management roles to demonstrate their leadership as it applies to their
areas of responsibility;
— conducting, at planned intervals, management reviews of the TRM programme;
— promoting improvement.
An organization should provide instructions and adequate resources for the development and
implementation of a travel risk programme.

5.2 Policy
The TRM policy should be a high-level document that indicates the organization’s TRM strategy, which
is part of its broader risk management strategy. This policy should be fully aligned with the intentions
and direction of the organization, as formally expressed by its top management.
Top management should establish a TRM policy that:
— defines the overall principles, intention and direction to achieve objectives;
— is appropriate for the needs and resources of the organization;
— becomes an integral part of the organization’s management policy;
— is aligned with the organization’s risk management, business continuity, travel procurement and
sustainability policies;
— refers to relevant legislation, standards, policies and codes of practice;
— establishes principles for the risk assessment process;
— takes into consideration (or establishes) the risk criteria of the organization;
— defines roles, responsibilities and accountabilities of all relevant stakeholders including their
competence;
— sets out the organization’s policy with respect to off-duty time and personal leave time (both
sometimes referred to as “bleisure”) associated with any travel;
— takes into consideration the multi-traveller policy and accompanying persons when relevant.
The TRM policy should:
— be approved by top management;
— be made available to all appropriate stakeholders;
— be defined and effectively communicated within the organization through information, education
and training;
— be integrated with any broader risk management framework to ensure a consistent approach to
risk management within the organization;
— be periodically reviewed for relevance and consistent application.
In order for an organization to be agile and responsive to organizational needs, the TRM policy should
include an exception process. This should be designed to ensure that any requested exceptions to the
policy requirements are:
— considered in line with the organization’s risk appetite, priorities and other relevant criteria;
— elevated and approved by the relevant stakeholders;
— managed with compensating controls if necessary;
— recorded and reported.
For example, travellers sometimes need to book travel outside the TRM policy for some reason. In these
cases, it’s crucial that they submit a policy exception request.
It is important that the policy exception request, approval or disapproval, and any associated controls
or recommendations, are acknowledged and recorded.
If the organization uses a travel management company to make travel bookings, then the policy, the
policy exception process and any changes to either should be communicated to the travel management
company in a clear and timely manner.
5.3 Roles, responsibilities and accountability
Ultimate accountability for risk resides with top management even where responsibilities have
been delegated to others. The concept of “criminal liability” of top management can exist in certain
jurisdictions. If delegation of authority is in place, it should be documented in writing.
The TRM function should be managed by a person or team with the necessary competence. This can be
either in a dedicated role or with additional responsibilities.
The TRM policy should set out the responsibilities of the various internal and external stakeholders
that have a role in delivery of both routine operations and non-routine situations, such as during an
incident.
Subclause 4.2 provides a list of internal stakeholder functions that can have a role.
The responsibilities of travellers to cooperate and act in compliance with the organization’s TRM policy
and procedures should also be set out. This is sometimes referred to as “duty of loyalty”.
The responsibilities outlined in the policy can be developed in more detail in the TRM programme.
5.4 Objectives
The principle objective of the TRM policy should be to ensure that travellers can perform duties
optimally, in an environment which is as safe and secure as is reasonably possible, and to have
procedures in p

Introduction
Le présent document est destiné à aider les personnes qui gèrent et participent à des voyages d’affaires.
La gestion des risques liés aux voyages est une composante des activités de voyage de tout organisme et
il convient d’y inclure l’interaction avec les parties prenantes.
Les raisons de voyager pour le compte d’un organisme sont nombreuses. Les voyages sont de plus en plus
fréquents dans le cadre de l’exercice d’un emploi ou d’une fonction. Par conséquent, il est nécessaire que
les organismes s’acquittent de leur devoir de protection sous de multiples juridictions dans différentes
parties du monde.
Les voyageurs, qu’ils soient internationaux ou nationaux, peuvent être confrontés à des situations et
à des environnements qu’ils ne connaissent pas et qui présentent des profils de risque différents de
ceux de leur lieu de résidence habituel. Les accidents de la route, les épidémies et les catastrophes
naturelles, ainsi que les conflits, la criminalité (y compris la cybercriminalité et le vol d’information), les
cybermenaces, le terrorisme et l’instabilité politique et sociale peuvent menacer la sécurité, la sûreté (y
compris la sécurité de l’information) et la santé (y compris la santé mentale) des voyageurs, et peuvent
avoir des conséquences négatives sur les objectifs de leurs missions.
NOTE Sauf indication contraire, toute référence à la sûreté inclut également la sécurité de l’information.
La gestion des risques liés aux voyages dans un pays où l’organisme n’a pas de bureau local nécessite
des moyens de maîtrise du risque plus complets que pour les lieux dont les profils de risque sont bien
connus et où des mesures de traitement ont déjà été prises. L’actualisation permanente et l’exactitude
des renseignements, des analyses et des conseils, y compris les avertissements aux voyageurs, jouent
un rôle de plus en plus important dans les décisions de voyage.
La gestion des risques liés aux voyages exige que les organismes anticipent et évaluent les probabilités
que des événements se produisent, élaborent des mesures de traitement et communiquent à leurs
voyageurs leur exposition anticipée aux risques. Le fait de conseiller les voyageurs et de leur fournir
des recommandations adéquates en matière de soins médicaux, d’intervention d’urgence ainsi que des
consignes en matière de sûreté et de sécurité de l’information, y compris les défis liés à la logistique des
voyages, peut avoir une incidence importante sur l’impact potentiel d’événements perturbateurs.
Le présent document fournit aux organismes un moyen de démontrer que les décisions de voyage sont
fondées sur la capacité de l’organisme à traiter le risque en utilisant des ressources internes ou avec
une aide externe. Tous les voyages ne justifient pas le même degré de rigueur dans l’appréciation et
le management du risque. Bien que le présent document fournisse un ensemble complet d’options de
traitement du risque pouvant être envisagées par un organisme, il convient que son application soit
raisonnée et proportionnée à l’exposition au risque. Cela a vocation à aider l’organisme et chaque
voyageur à saisir les opportunités et les avantages pour lesquels le voyage est requis.
Le présent document dispose qu’il convient que l’appétence générale de l’organisme au risque et son
acceptation du risque ne priment pas, ou ne soient pas utilisées exclusivement, pour décider si un
voyage est approprié pour des raisons de sûreté, de sécurité ou de santé.
Le présent document est basé sur les principes, le cadre organisationnel et le processus de l’ISO 31000,
comme illustré à la Figure 1. Le risque lié aux voyages présente un contexte spécifique et il peut être
nécessaire d’adapter le processus de management du risque existant d’un organisme pour en tenir
compte. Il est également aligné sur le système central de management de la santé et de la sécurité au
travail défini dans l’ISO 45001. À ce titre, certains éléments du présent document peuvent aider ou
éclairer les organismes qui élaborent de tels systèmes de management, mais il ne s’agit pas d’une norme
de système de management.
Le présent document peut être utilisé de manière autonome ou intégré dans d’autres programmes de
gestion des risques.

Figure 1 — Principes, cadre organisationnel et processus
L’un des objectifs du présent document est de promouvoir une culture où le risque lié aux voyages est
pris au sérieux, mobilise suffisamment de ressources et est géré de manière efficace, et où les avantages
pour l’organisme et les parties prenantes concernées sont reconnus. Ces avantages comprennent:
— protéger le personnel, les données, la propriété intellectuelle et les biens;
— réduire les impacts financiers et juridiques de l’exposition au risque;
— permettre de traiter des affaires dans des lieux à haut risque;
— améliorer la réputation et la crédibilité d’un organisme, ce qui peut avoir un effet positif sur la
compétitivité, la rotation du personnel et l’acquisition de talents;
— améliorer la confiance des travailleurs dans les dispositions en matière de santé, de sécurité et de
sûreté relatives aux voyages;
— contribuer à la capacité de continuité d’activité et à la résilience de l’organisme;
— démontrer la capacité de l’organisme à maîtriser ses risques liés aux voyages de manière efficace et
efficiente, ce qui peut également contribuer à réduire ses primes d’assurance;
— rassurer ses partenaires commerciaux, de sorte que les banques et les investisseurs soient plus
disposés à financer ses activités;
— permettre à l’organisme de répondre aux attentes de ses clients en termes de sûreté et de stabilité
de leur chaîne d’approvisionnement;
— augmenter la productivité générale;
— contribuer à l’atteinte des objectifs de développement durable en renforçant la dimension sociale du
développement durable.
Dans le présent document, les formes verbales suivantes sont utilisées:
a) «il convient de/que» indique une recommandation;
b) «peut/il est admis/permis» (« may » en anglais) indique une permission;
c) «peut/il est possible» (« can » en anglais) indique une possibilité ou une capacité.
Les informations sous forme de «NOTE» sont destinées à faciliter la compréhension ou l’utilisation du
document.

4 Compréhension de l’organisme et de son contexte
4.1 Contexte opérationnel
4.1.1 Généralités
Il est important qu’un organisme comprenne clairement les facteurs qui peuvent avoir une incidence ou
une influence sur les objectifs de son programme de gestion des risques liés aux voyages, y compris le
contexte externe et interne dans lequel il exerce ses activités.
Le contexte externe peut inclure, entre autres:
a) les facteurs politiques, socio-économiques, culturels, religieux/éthiques, légaux ou réglementaires,
au niveau international, national, régional ou local;
b) la violence politique (y compris le terrorisme, l’insurrection, les troubles et les conflits armés à
caractère politique);
c) les troubles sociaux (y compris la violence sectaire, communautaire et ethnique);
d) les crimes violents et la petite délinquance;
e) la qualité, la disponibilité et la fiabilité des moyens de transport;
f) la qualité, la disponibilité et la fiabilité des télécommunications;
g) l’état des relations industrielles;
h) l’efficacité des services de sécurité et de secours publics et privés;
i) les responsabilités des autres parties (par exemple, les clients) à l’égard des voyageurs de
l’organisme;
j) les facteurs naturels ou géologiques;
k) la prédisposition aux catastrophes naturelles;
l) les dangers sanitaires potentiels, y compris les épidémies et les pandémies;
m) la qualité des infrastructures sanitaires et des soins médicaux locaux;
n) la sécurité de l’information/cybersécurité;
o) la qualité de l’hôtellerie/hébergement;
p) l’état des sols/des routes.
Le contexte interne peut comprendre, entre autres:
— la vision, la mission, les valeurs et la culture de l’organisme;
— la gouvernance, la structure, les rôles, les responsabilités et les obligations de rendre compte de
l’organisme;
— la stratégie, les objectifs et les politiques de l’organisme;
— les plans, les normes, les lignes directrices, les règlements et les instructions de l’organisme;
— la stratégie de gestion du risque et les critères de risque de l’organisme;
— la gamme et le type des activités de voyage de l’organisme;
— les capacités de l’organisme, y compris les compétences et les profils des voyageurs;
— les ressources, techniques et outils de l’organisme nécessaires à la gestion des risques liés aux
voyages;
— les données, les systèmes d’information et les flux d’informations de l’organisme.
4.1.2 Contexte spécifique à une industrie/un secteur d’activité
L’industrie/le secteur d’activité dans laquelle/lequel un organisme opère est un autre facteur qui peut
influer sur les risques rencontrés par les voyageurs. Il convient qu’un organisme connaisse la législation,
les exigences réglementaires, les codes de bonne pratique, etc. qui s’appliquent à son industrie/son
secteur d’activité dans son pays d’origine et dans les autres pays où il exerce ses activités. Il convient
également qu’il tienne compte de son devoir de protection, de ses politiques et dispositions pour la
résilience de ses activités et de ses objectifs de développement durable, tous ces éléments qui peuvent
avoir un effet positif sur les considérations relatives au traitement du risque.
Il est nécessaire que les organismes surveillent et examinent de manière proactive leurs risques
identifiés, évolutifs et émergents. Il convient de tenir compte de leur impact sur la gestion des risques
liés aux voyages de l’organisme et d’enregistrer tout changement et d’agir en conséquence.
4.1.3 Profil de risque
Il convient qu’un organisme ait une bonne compréhension de son profil de risque et du contexte
dynamique de la gestion des risques liés aux voyages dans lequel il exerce ses activités ou prévoit
d’exercer ses activités. Pour ce faire, il convient que l’organisme examine les objectifs de la gestion des
risques liés aux voyages par rapport:
— au contexte de l’organisme;
6 © ISO 2021 – Tous droits réservés
— au secteur opérationnel de l’organisme;
— aux opérations ou missions spécifiques, ou les deux;
— aux destinations;
— aux profils et objectifs individuels des voyageurs.
Un profil de risque peut comprendre différents risques qui peuvent être interdépendants.
Il convient de revoir le profil de risque des voyages régulièrement et après tout changement significatif
du contexte opérationnel interne et externe. Il convient de communiquer les résultats par le biais des
services de communication interne et externe.
4.2 Parties prenantes
Il convient que l’organisme détermine les parties prenantes internes et externes qui sont pertinentes
pour la gestion des risques liés aux voyages (voir Tableau 1).
Selon la taille de l’organisme et ses besoins en matière de voyages, la fonction chargée de la gestion des
risques liés aux voyages peut être combinée à d’autres fonctions. Certaines fonctions peuvent également
être prises en charge par des prestataires tiers spécialisés.
Tableau 1 — Exemples de parties prenantes internes et externes
Parties prenantes internes (dont celles correspondant à des fonctions) Parties prenantes externes
— santé et sécurité/environnement, santé — marketing et — assureurs/assisteurs
et sécurité/santé et sécurité au travail communication

4.3 Population de voyageurs
Il est nécessaire de prêter attention au profil du voyageur par rapport aux destinations, car des facteurs
tels que l’origine, les compétences, la nationalité, l’identité culturelle, le sexe, l’orientation sexuelle, la
religion, l’âge, la profession, la position, le handicap ou les antécédents médicaux peuvent tous influer
sur les risques liés au voyage. Les risques peuvent aller au-delà de la sécurité et de la sûreté et peuvent
également inclure des besoins médicaux et autres.
Un organisme peut compter différents types de voyageurs ou groupes de voyageurs, ayant tous des
exigences différentes concernant le devoir de protection. Il convient que l’équipe chargée de la gestion
des risques liés aux voyages soit en contact étroit avec le service des ressources humaines ou le service
juridique de l’organisme afin de bien comprendre quels sont les différents types de voyageurs. Ceux-ci
peuvent inclure, entre autres:
— les travailleurs directs;
— les autres travailleurs au sein de l’organisme et de sa chaîne d’approvisionnement;
— les stagiaires et les invités de l’organisme;
— les familles (et autres personnes qui dépendent du voyageur pour leur prise en charge, par exemple
financière) qui voyagent avec le voyageur principal;
— les étudiants/élèves des universités/écoles.
Il convient également de tenir compte du mode de déplacement, par exemple:
— en distinguant les voyageurs à court terme et les voyageurs à long terme (y compris les expatriés);
— les travailleurs basés dans le pays et travaillant à distance;
— les travailleurs en rotation.
4.4 Objectifs commerciaux, appétence au risque et critères de risques
Il convient qu’un organisme trouve un équilibre entre ses objectifs et opportunités commerciaux et les
mesures nécessaires pour gérer les risques et les menaces qu’il rencontre. Il convient que les options
de traitement du risque soient proportionnées au niveau de risque prévu ou attendu. Il convient
qu’un organisme prenne en considération le niveau de risque qu’il est prêt à accepter pour atteindre
ses objectifs commerciaux et saisir toutes les opportunités, tout en mettant en place des mesures
appropriées pour gérer le risque de manière efficace et efficiente. Il peut arriver que le niveau de risque
soit inacceptable et qu’il convienne de ne pas faire le voyage.
Il convient que les critères de risque de l’organisme concernant les voyages figurent dans la politique de
gestion des risques liés aux voyages.
4.5 Gestion des risques liés aux voyages et mise en œuvre
La nature et l’ampleur des risques liés aux voyages d’un organisme déterminent la manière dont
les risques sont gérés et pris en charge. Le profil de risque d’un organisme effectuant des voyages
occasionnels dans des lieux à faible risque est très différent de celui d’un organisme exerçant
fréquemment ses activités dans des lieux à haut risque.
Le profil de risque a vocation à indiquer également dans quelle mesure l’organisme peut gérer les
risques en utilisant ses propres ressources ou devra compter sur l’assistance de prestataires tiers
pour faciliter ou assurer la mise en œuvre des fonctions nécessaires. Il s’agit d’un facteur important à
prendre en compte lors de l’élaboration et de la mise en œuvre d’une politique et d’un programme de
gestion des risques liés aux voyages. Il convient d’envisager de fournir une analyse coût/bénéfice pour
faciliter le processus de prise de décision. Des recommandations supplémentaires relatives à l’analyse
coût/bénéfice sont données dans l’IEC 31010.

Introducción
Este documento está previsto para ayudar a quienes gestionan y participan en viajes de una organización.
La gestión del riesgo asociado a viajes es un componente de las actividades relacionadas con los viajes de
cualquier organización y debería incluir la interacción con las partes interesadas.
Existen muchas razones por las que las personas viajan para su organización. Viajar se ha convertido
cada vez más en una característica común de los trabajos o funciones de las personas. En consecuencia,
las organizaciones necesitan cumplir con su deber de protección en múltiples jurisdicciones en diferentes
partes del mundo.
Los viajeros, ya sean internacionales o nacionales, se pueden enfrentar a situaciones y entornos desconocidos
que tienen perfiles de riesgo diferentes a los de su ubicación normal. Los accidentes de tráfico, los brotes de
enfermedades, las epidemias y los desastres naturales, así como los conflictos, la delincuencia (incluidos los
delitos cibernéticos y el robo de información), las amenazas cibernéticas, el terrorismo y la inestabilidad
política y social, pueden amenazar la seguridad, la protección (incluida la seguridad de la información) y la
salud (incluida la salud mental) de los viajeros, y puede afectar negativamente el resultado de sus objetivos
de viaje.
NOTA A menos que se indique lo contrario, cualquier referencia a la seguridad también incluye la seguridad de la
información.
La gestión del riesgo para viajar a un país donde la organización no tiene una oficina local requiere de
controles más completos que para lugares donde los perfiles de riesgo son bien conocidos y los tratamientos
ya se han establecido. La puntualidad y precisión de la inteligencia, el análisis y el asesoramiento, incluidas
las alertas de viaje, son cada vez más importantes para influir en las decisiones de viaje.
La gestión del riesgo asociado a viajes (GRV) requiere que las organizaciones anticipen y evalúen el
potencial de que ocurran eventos, desarrollen tratamientos y comuniquen a los viajeros las exposiciones a
riesgo previstas. Aconsejar y proporcionar a los viajeros orientación médica y de respuesta a emergencias
adecuada, precauciones de seguridad y seguridad de la información, incluidos los desafíos para la logística
del viaje, puede tener un impacto significativo en el resultado de eventos disruptivos.
Este documento proporciona un medio para que las organizaciones demuestren que las decisiones de
viaje se basan en la capacidad de la organización para tratar el riesgo utilizando recursos internos o con
asistencia externa. No todos los viajes requieren el mismo nivel de rigor para la evaluación y gestión del
riesgo. Aunque este documento proporciona un conjunto integral de opciones de tratamiento del riesgo que
una organización puede considerar, la aplicación debería estar razonada y proporcionada a la exposición al
riesgo. Esto ayudará a la organización y a los viajeros individuales a darse cuenta de las oportunidades y
beneficios por los cuales se requiere viajar.
Este documento propone que el apetito global y la aceptación del riesgo de la organización no se deberían
tener como prioridad, ni utilizar exclusivamente, para decidir si el viaje es apropiado por razones de
seguridad o salud.
Este documento se basa en los principios, el marco de referencia y el proceso de la Norma ISO 31000, como
se muestra en la Figura 1. El riesgo relacionado con los viajes presenta un contexto específico y el proceso de
gestión del riesgo existente de una organización se puede adaptar para reflejarlo. También está alineado con
el sistema de gestión de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo establecido en la Norma ISO 45001. Como tal, los
elementos de este documento pueden ayudar o informar a las organizaciones que desarrollan tales sistemas
de gestión, pero no es una norma de sistema de gestión.
Este documento se puede utilizar de forma independiente o integrado en otros programas de gestión del
riesgo.

Figura 1 — Principios, marco de referencia y proceso
Uno de los objetivos de este documento es promover una cultura en la que el riesgo relacionado con los viajes
se tome en serio, se cuente con los recursos adecuados y se gestione con eficacia. Y donde se reconozcan los
beneficios para la organización y las partes interesadas pertinentes. Tales beneficios incluyen:
— proteger al personal, los datos, la propiedad intelectual y los activos;
— reducir la exposición legal y financiera;
— habilitar negocios en lugares de alto riesgo;
— mejorar la reputación y la credibilidad de una organización, lo que a su vez puede tener un efecto positivo
en la competitividad, la rotación del personal y la adquisición de talento;
— mejorar la confianza de los trabajadores en las disposiciones relativas a la salud, la seguridad y la
protección durante los viajes;
— contribuir a la capacidad de continuidad del negocio y la resiliencia de la organización;
— demostrar la capacidad de la organización para controlar sus riesgos relacionados con los viajes de
manera eficaz y eficiente, lo que también puede ayudar a reducir sus primas de seguro;
— proporcionar seguridad a los socios comerciales, por lo que los bancos y los inversores estarán más
dispuestos a financiar su negocio;
— permitir que la organización cumpla con las expectativas de los clientes en términos de seguridad y
estabilidad de su cadena de suministro;
— aumentar la productividad general;

El contexto interno puede incluir, entre otros, los siguientes elementos de la organización:
— la visión, la misión, los valores y la cultura;
— la gobernanza, la estructura, las funciones, las responsabilidades y la rendición de cuentas;
— la estrategia, los objetivos y las políticas;
— los planes, los estándares, las directrices, los reglamentos y las instrucciones;
— la estrategia de gestión del riesgo y los criterios de riesgo;
— el alcance y el tipo de actividades de viaje;
— las capacidades, incluyendo las competencias y los perfiles de los viajeros;
— los recursos, las técnicas y las herramientas necesarios para gestionar el riesgo asociado a viajes de la
organización;
— los datos, los sistemas de información y los flujos de información.
4.1.2 Contexto específico de la industria/sector
La industria/sector en el que opera una organización es otro factor que puede afectar los riesgos a los
que se enfrentan los viajeros. Una organización debería conocer la legislación pertinente, los requisitos
reglamentarios, los códigos de práctica, etc. que son relevantes para su industria/sector en su país de origen
y en otros países en los que opera. También debería tener en cuenta su deber de protección, las políticas y
acuerdos de resiliencia del negocio y los objetivos de sostenibilidad, que pueden tener un efecto positivo en
las consideraciones de tratamiento del riesgo.
Las organizaciones necesitan hacer seguimiento y revisar proactivamente sus riesgos identificados, en
evolución y emergentes. Se debería considerar su impacto en la GRV de la organización y registrar y actuar
sobre cualquier cambio.
4.1.3 Perfil de riesgo
Una organización debería tener una comprensión clara de su perfil de riesgo y el panorama dinámico de la
GRV en el que opera o planea operar. Para hacer esto, una organización debería revisar los objetivos de la
GRV en relación con:
— el contexto de la organización;
— el sector operativo de la organización;
— las operaciones o las asignaciones específicas, o ambas;
— los destinos;
— los perfiles y los objetivos individuales de los viajeros.
Traducción oficial
Un perfil de riesgo puede incorporar diferentes riesgos que pueden ser interdependientes.
El perfil de riesgo para viajes se debería revisar periódicamente y después de cualquier cambio significativo
en el contexto operativo interno y externo. Los resultados se deberían dar a conocer a través de
comunicaciones internas y externas.
4.2 Partes interesadas
La organización debería determinar las partes interesadas internas y externas que son pertinentes para la
GRV (véase la Tabla 1).
Según el tamaño de la organización y sus necesidades de viaje, la función de GRV se puede combinar con otras
funciones. Ciertas funciones también pueden ser compatibles con proveedores externos especializados.

4.3 Población viajera
Es necesario prestar atención al perfil del viajero en relación con los destinos porque factores como la raza,
las competencias, la nacionalidad, la identidad cultural, el género, la orientación sexual, la religión, la edad, la
ocupación, el puesto, la discapacidad o el historial médico pueden afectar los riesgos asociados con el viaje.
Los riesgos se pueden extender más allá de la seguridad y la protección y también pueden incluir necesidades
médicas y de otro tipo.
Una organización puede tener varios tipos diferentes de viajeros, o grupos de viajeros, todos con diferentes
requisitos de deber de protección. El equipo de GRV debería colaborar estrechamente con el departamento
jurídico o de recursos humanos de la organización para desarrollar una comprensión completa de los
diferentes tipos de viajeros. Estos pueden incluir, entre otros:
— los trabajadores directos;
— otros trabajadores de la organización y su cadena de suministro;
— los estudiantes en prácticas y los invitados de la organización;
Traducción oficial
— las familias (y otras personas que dependen del viajero para su apoyo, por ejemplo, apoyo financiero) que
viajan con el viajero principal;
— los estudiantes/alumnos de universidades/escuelas.
También se debería considerar el patrón de viaje, por ejemplo:
— distinguir a los viajeros a corto y largo plazo (incluidos los expatriados);
— los trabajadores remotos a nivel nacional;
— los trabajadores en rotación.
4.4 Objetivos del negocio, apetito de riesgo y criterios de riesgo
Una organización debería equilibrar sus objetivos y oportunidades de negocio con los pasos necesarios
para gestionar los riesgos y amenazas que enfrenta. Las opciones de tratamiento del riesgo deberían ser
proporcionales al nivel de riesgo previsto o esperado. Una organización debería considerar el nivel de riesgo
que está dispuesta a aceptar para cumplir con sus objetivos del negocio y aprovechar cualquier oportunidad,
al tiempo que implementa las medidas adecuadas para administrar el riesgo de manera efectiva y eficiente.
Puede haber ocasiones en las que el nivel de riesgo sea inaceptable y el viaje no se debería realizar.
Los criterios de riesgo asociado a viajes de la organización se deberían registrar en la política de GRV.
4.5 Gestión e implementación del riesgo asociado a viajes
La naturaleza y la escala del riesgo asociado a viajes de una organización determinará cómo se gestiona y
entrega el riesgo. El perfil de riesgo de una organización que viaja ocasionalmente a lugares de bajo riesgo es
muy diferente al de una que opera con frecuencia en lugares de alto riesgo.
El perfil de riesgo también determinará hasta qué punto la organización puede gestionar los riesgos
utilizando sus propios recursos o necesitará contar con el apoyo de proveedores externos para ayudar o
realizar las funciones necesarias. Este será un factor importante a abordar al desarrollar e implementar una
política y un programa de GRV. Se debería prestar la debida consideración a la realización de un análisis de
costos y beneficios para ayudar en el proceso de toma de decisiones. Se puede encontrar más orientación
