Situational Awareness-Business Travel
Many employees travel for work on a regular basis. Business travel spending has grown 6.9 percent in 2011 compared to 2010, hitting $250.2 billion, according to the Global Business Travel Association. With business travel growing, the likelihood that travel plans not going smoothly does as well. In 2011, major US carriers managed to leave 1,598 planes sitting on the tarmac for two hours or more and received 979,000 mishandled luggage reports. In unfamiliar areas, travelers also run into the chance of being robbed or lost for hours causing them to miss meetings and flights.
Upon completion of this learning event, employees will demonstrate the ability to be aware of their surroundings and anticipate potential hazards while traveling. Employees will learn to describe situational hazards in airports, while driving, and in hotels. They will also get advice on how to minimize or eliminate those hazards.
