The future suggests an increase in corporate & scholastic travel with many organisations venturing to destinations outside of their historic territory. As new but unfamiliar destinations open up, organisations must now evaluate whether their duty of care policies and procedures are still adequate for the regions in which they operate. When employees work across borders, duty of care involves risk management beyond the usual health and safety requirements of a familiar environment. As workforces become more mobile, fulfilling duty of care can seem like a daunting task for employers which is made more challenging by the inconsistent standards across the globe. The balance between having reasonable processes in place to protect staff overseas and conducting business in an efficient and profitable manner can sometimes be difficult.  

Quaynote Communications will be holding their third annual two day conference on Duty of care – protecting workers overseas which will take place on 17th & 18th February 2015 in London. The conference aims to increase awareness among organisations as to their responsibilities towards workers travelling or stationed overseas and how organisations can best protect their employees, business and reputation. Key industry speakers will offer the latest advice on risks posed to workers travelling overseas and will give guidance on assessing whether your own in-house travel and risk procedures are up to date. Delegates will be able to ensure they adequately understand the legal implications and liabilities of managing overseas workers and that they are meeting their Duty of Care requirements. Speakers include;

Michael Farrell, Group EHSS Manager, Afren 
Nigel Carpenter, Director, Group Security & Emergency Preparedness, AMEC plc 
Andrew Kain, Founder & Chairman, AKE Group
