Low Risk, High Awareness: Empowering Travelers to Stay Safe Anywhere

Feb 20 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am - EST

Please join GBTA New England for our February Chapter meeting where we focus on traveler safety in this ever-changing world environment. Jeremy Prout from International SOS will present “Low Risk, High Awareness: Empowering Travelers to Stay Safe Anywhere”

While organizations prioritize employee safety in high-risk regions, low-risk locations often present unique challenges stemming from a false sense of security. Complacency in these environments can expose employees to preventable risks, from minor incidents during daily commutes to larger-scale disruptions. This session will explore how situational awareness and vigilance, even in seemingly low-risk areas, are critical to fostering a safety-first culture.

Attendees will learn practical strategies to mitigate risks, promote situational awareness, and empower employees to make informed decisions in their day-to-day activities. This informative session will:

Highlight the hidden risks in low-risk locations and how they can impact organizational safety.
Discuss how complacency develops and the potential consequences for employees and organizations.
Provide actionable steps for organizations to implement training and tools that enhance situational awareness.
Offer examples of successful programs that balance vigilance with practicality to ensure employee buy-in
This highly engaging and interactive session will get our 2025 educational programming off to a tremendous start.
