Health risks when working and travelling internationally

Working internationally or travelling for business exposes you to health risks you do not face at home. These can vary depending on your destination, working conditions and length of stay. We help you understand these risks in advance and take the right steps to reduce them.

What health risks might you face?

Health risks differ by country, region and type of work. Common risks include:

  • infectious diseases such as hepatitis, malaria or dengue
  • contaminated food and water
  • climate and air quality
  • limited access to medical care
  • physical strain or challenging working conditions

What applies to you depends on your personal situation.
