Dear reader,

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon (this side of the Meridian at any rate).

Like many other people, Neil Armstrong and his team were occupational travelers, i.e. people who travel as part of their job description. They both worked in travel and travelled for work. As an employer, if you have employees who travel regularly, you have to ensure their safety from pre- to post-travel.

Begin with a medical examination…

Arrange for a medical examination at least six to eight weeks before travelling. This allows time for necessary medication adjustments. You must carry out periodical examinations and exit examinations afterwards.

Read chapter M01 in your Health and Safety Advisor Handbook for more information on medical surveillance.

In the name of safety,
Christel Fouché
