Posted By Mark Glynn Thomas I am constructing a overseas travel risk assessment for our employees who frequently visit the far east on business and was wondering if any one had any information that may help me? I have suggested to the company that they should send me for a couple of weeks to assess the risk myself, but their having none of it! Regards Mark

Posted By DavidHaddon My first port of call would be to check with the Foreign Office or Travel agency websites for innoculation requirements, they also tend to give all sorts of advice (about cultural differences and behaviour etc) That should give you something to go on.

Posted By Keith Oakes Mark, Put 'overseas travel' into google and scroll down to 'health information for overseas travel'. This will link you to the Department of Health site and their guidance document. It may give you some ideas. Keith

Posted By David A Jones Mark, Don't just consider health issues (e.g. innoculations) but also consider the safety and security of your persons - the Foreign office provide some useful guidance on their website

Posted By Mark J. Jones There is a 'technical infosheet' under 'technical information' on this site that may be of value.

Posted By fats van den raad Mark I would from now on carry out all risk assessments without leaving my office. It won't be long before someone complains that you are getting the assessments wrong. You can then say that seeing as you are expected to do foreign travel RA's from your office, why bother doing the rest on site. Gives you more ammo to do those foreign travel RA's "on site"!!
