Key points
- A missed check-in is not proof of distress.
- The response must be documented.
- Escalation levels should be configured before trips start.
- Manual confirmations by phone, WhatsApp, radio, or colleague should be recorded.
Start with the right assumption
A missed check-in means follow-up is required. It does not automatically mean an emergency.
The system should avoid panic language while still making the overdue status visible.
Record the response
The supervisor should record contact method, time, note, outcome, and identity. If contact is established, the record should say how.
If unresolved, escalation can move to safety manager, management, or emergency contact according to policy.
How Travo supports this
Travo flags overdue trips, supports supervisor response notes, and keeps missed check-in evidence inside the trip timeline.
This gives management a record of what happened after a missed check-in.
Frequently asked questions
Is a missed check-in an emergency?
Not automatically. It is a trigger for supervisor follow-up and escalation according to organisational policy.
Can a supervisor confirm contact manually?
Yes. Manual contact by phone, WhatsApp, radio, or third-party confirmation should be recorded with method, time, note, and supervisor identity.
