Morning all,

I am looking for some advice from people who have worked in companies or dealt with employees who work overseas at customer sites.

To provide a bit of background, we manufacture labelling machines and have just started securing contracts with customers overseas (all across Europe). Our machines come with a maintenance & breakdown package and we send service technicians periodically and when requested. (Usually 1-3 days overseas)

I want to ensure we are doing all we can to ensure our guys are working as safely as possible whilst overseas and have got the ball rolling with introducing the below:

Overseas travel action plan to be completed before travel, risk assessments covering overseas working, mini lockout & tag out kits, on the spot/dynamic risk assessments to be done when arriving at customers site and sent back to base & training for completing on the spot risk assessments. We also have a travel policy in place.

Has anyone else done/know of anything else that other companies do for employees that work overseas?

Would welcome any advice or suggestions as I have never dealt with overseas working before.

Thanks AlexisB. I have just read this and it was really helpful.

Thanks again!
