International SOS: Prevalence of road risks facing business travellers
International SOS has made available a Press Release to highlight the Prevalence of road risks facing business travellers, together with a Road Safety manual.
Every year road crashes kill over 1.35 million people and a staggering 40% of all road deaths globally are work related. On top of this, between 20-50 million people are injured each year. Beyond car crashes, there are also related risks such as car-jacking, shared economy considerations and other personal safety issues. In the new white paper, ‘Risks of the Road for International Travellers; the Leading Global Killer Often Overlooked in Duty of Care’, the International SOS Foundation and the Global Road Safety Partnership highlight this, often overlooked, risk, and some of the mitigation measures that can protect employees.
