Posted By Danny MA Can anyone highlight me what are the risks or how to know the risks, for CEOs' travel on means e.g. plane, ship etc. and the place to be traveled especially after the U.S. terrorist attacks. Any web sites or publications relate to these?

Posted By Philip Roberts Danny, As John mentioned, the Foreign Office has a vast amount of information regarding overseas travel. Try the website at: http://www.fco.gov.uk/travel/default.asp Phil

Posted By Philip Roberts Danny, In my haste I forgot to mention that there is an excellent IOSH document in the 'Technical Information' section of this web-site written by George Wedgewood and entitled 'Safety in the global village' It contains a lot of useful information, not least a list of useful contacts on the last page. Try it out. Phil

Posted By Nigel Lusby If you are talking about travel in far off places, with considerably different cultures to our own. I am thinking of areas where bribes are a routine transaction, where any internal road travel will require the provisions of guards and the CEO and any other workers may require guards to sleep outside the rooms etc.Where internal air travel (Or any sort of travel) is a considerably more risky activity than the west. You need will need to assess how you are going to get them in, how you are going to protect them when they are there, and how you will get them out if things go to plan or worse if they go pear shaped. Try the Foreign office, or the CIA website for background, and talk to other companies that do business there and see if you can use their systems. In these countries every foreign worker is at some risk, the CEO will be seen to be worth more at least as a lever to extract money out of your company. Regards Nigel

Posted By Danny MA Dear Ashley & others, I am a British citizen, also a Chinese born & living in Hong Kong. I hold the qualifications of MIOSH & RSP if just to U.K. prospectives. I fully agree with your points that as a safety & risk professional, I have to take care the well-being of every individual, not just the CEO. Everybody who had replied me therefore not pointing at CEO safety but in general across the board. I feel so good that my chat could attract so many feedback no matter which positive or negative but a form of communication I wished to have. I love all of you who had given me ideas or will give (if any), people in the Great Britain.
