We know how vital it is to protect travellers’ wellbeing and physical safety.
Many of our customers travel to volatile and remote areas, and we support them to meet their duty of care responsibilities through a wide range of practical solutions and proven risk management tools, from pre-trip planning and destination risk assessments to security alerts and 24/7 traveller GPS tracking.
An effective travel risk management programme is an ongoing process that starts before departure, continues for the duration and re-engages with the traveller on their return and beyond.
KT Safety - our Travel Safety and Risk Management programme
We are pioneers in the deployment of Risk Management, Traveller Tracking and Wellbeing toolsets.

Travel Risk management for travellers
- We operate a 24/7 emergency service which is managed in-house. No matter the time of day or night, a knowledgeable agent will take your call. Can't get to a phone, don't worry, we're also contactable 24/7 by SMS and WhatsApp messaging
- KT Safety comprises a mobile trip management app which integrates all elements of a trip into one itinerary and provides up-to-date destination risk assessments and alerts
- As well as providing our own traveller tracking and emergency support for travellers, we also work with a wide variety of emergency evacuation and repatriation providers such as International SOS, Safeture, and Healix.
24/7 travel emergency support
During our travels, sometimes things go wrong and when they do, it isn't always within standard working hours, which is why we provide 'as standard' 24/7 emergency support and incident handling across 365 days (we don't charge for needing us out of hours).
All of our reservations consultants have extensive experience in the travel sector and are highly skilled at managing complex itineraries and mitigating travel risk factors. For emergencies, we always recommend calling us as the best option, but for those mid-air or in an area of poor connection, we were one of the first TMCs to offer alternative contact channels including SMS and WhatsApp message.
RiskReady™
RiskReady™, is our exclusive comprehensive Travel Risk Management Readiness Framework developed in partnership with AvISO Consultancy and the Travel Risk Academy. RiskReady™ helps organisations to identify and close any gaps they have versus the ISO31030 standard for travel risk management. It also provides a tangible process to explore and improve every aspect of your current travel safety programme. Ready to enhance your TRM practices in line with ISO31030 standards? RiskReady™ is the surefire way to meet your goals.
The Benefits of RiskReady™
- Enhanced Duty of Care - Organisations have both a legal and moral duty to ensure the safety and well-being of their travellers. RiskReady™ helps fulfil this responsibility by identifying potential risks and implementing controls to mitigate them, thereby enhancing duty of care.
- Improved Traveller Safety - The framework is designed to identify vulnerabilities in current travel policies and procedures. By addressing these gaps, organisations can significantly enhance the safety of their travellers, reducing the likelihood of incidents during business trips. This proactive approach not only safeguards employees but also boosts their confidence in the travel programme, leading to higher satisfaction and compliance.
- Greater Cost Control & Efficiency - Early identification and management of travel risks can lead to significant cost savings. Unexpected travel disruptions or emergencies can be costly, but by participating in the Travel Risk Management Readiness Framework, organisations can avoid or minimise these costs through efficient risk controls and contingency plans.
KT Care: Our safety and wellbeing app
Designed for both everyday use and immediately after a crisis or traumatic event, this app has two key functions:
- Psychological First Aid: Our app offers immediate support after an incident by helping people understand their reactions, offering them strategies for coping and, if necessary, signposting to further support
- Psychosocial Support: KT Care also provides information for helpers, friends, colleagues, managers or family members on how to support people affected by trauma, as well as what not to do
Bespoke travel risk solutions
We understand every organisation has different risks and different duty of care requirements, which is why everything we offer can be tailored to your own individual needs.
