The Lodestone Approach TO HEALTH AND SAFETY ABROAD

Safety — understood as freedom from harm — is not our goal. We accept a degree of uncertainty and risk when we travel abroad in order to improve our understanding of the world or to make the world a better place. Our goal is to make programming as safe as it should be.

As safe as it should be means reducing the hazard landscape to its inherent risk and identifying opportunities to reduce the likelihood of incidents and enhancing the capacity to mitigate harm to stakeholders. Our clients develop the practical, hands-on skills necessary for navigating health, safety and security abroad.
