What is ISO 31030?

Published in 2021, ISO 31030:2021 Travel risk management — Guidance for organizations is the first international standard for managing the risks of work-related travel. It sets out how organisations should assess, treat, monitor and review travel risk as part of their duty of care.

ISO 31030 is guidance, not a certification — no vendor or organisation "holds" it. What matters is whether your programme follows its recommendations. Increasingly, boards, insurers and procurement teams ask exactly that question.

Voyage Manager supports ISO 31030 alignment: the standard describes the programme; our platform provides the operational tooling to run it.

Why alignment matters

  • Duty of care evidence — demonstrate a structured, documented approach if the worst happens
  • Procurement & tenders — alignment is increasingly a supplier-selection question
  • Insurance — insurers look favourably on programmes run to the standard
  • Traveller confidence — staff travel more willingly when the programme is credible

How Voyage Manager maps to the guidance

The standard's core themes, and the platform capability that operationalises each one.

Risk Assessment

Assess threats before travel

Country risk information, destination guides and automated pre-travel briefings generated on demand for every trip — so each journey starts with a current risk picture.

Risk Treatment & Prevention

Prevent avoidable exposure

Automated policy compliance catches issues human review misses — including risks invisible to individual travellers, like too many staff on a single flight.

Monitoring

Know where your people are

Multi-source travel tracking — itineraries, flights, apps, satellite hardware — plus home-location coverage, so monitoring doesn't stop when the trip does.

Communication & Warning

Reach the right people, fast

Real-time risk alerts powered by Voyage Risk reach only those affected, by email, SMS, app and voice.

Incident Response

Close the loop on incidents

Automated safety check-ins with escalation plans, one-touch Emergency SOS, and affected-person identification when incidents strike.

Review & Improvement

Evidence and improve the programme

Travel analytics and full audit trails give you the records to review incidents, evidence compliance and continuously improve.

Voyage Manager supports alignment with ISO 31030 guidance. ISO 31030 is a guidance standard; it is not a certifiable management-system standard, and no product or vendor can be "ISO 31030 certified".

How aligned is your programme?

Twelve questions, two minutes, instant result. No email required.

  1. 1. Do you have a written travel risk management policy?

  2. 2. Is a specific person or team accountable for traveller safety?

  3. 3. Are destination risks assessed before each trip is approved?

  4. 4. Do travellers receive a briefing before departure?

  5. 5. Can you see where all your travellers are right now?

  6. 6. Would you know which people — including those back home — are near an incident?

  7. 7. Do travellers receive risk alerts relevant to their location?

  8. 8. Is there a defined way for travellers to confirm they're safe?

  9. 9. Can a traveller trigger an SOS that reaches the right responder?

  10. 10. Are visa, immigration and tax-day risks monitored for travellers?

  11. 11. Could you produce an audit trail of your response to a past incident?

  12. 12. Is the programme reviewed against data (near-misses, incidents, usage)?
