Key points
- Route notes give context to approvals.
- Risk levels should influence check-in intervals.
- High-risk trips may need senior approval.
- The decision should be documented.
Why risk should shape approval
A short trip to a familiar office is different from a long rural trip by motorbike during rainy season.
Supervisors need route, destination, travel time, transport, and known risk context before approval.
Check-in intervals
A higher-risk trip may require more frequent check-ins. A lower-risk trip may use a longer interval.
The important thing is to document the interval before movement starts.
How Travo supports this
Travo trip requests include destination, route notes, transport mode, risk level, expected return, support contact, and check-in interval.
This creates a better approval record.
Frequently asked questions
Should risk level default to high?
No. Staff should make a conscious selection based on route, destination, transport, timing, and organisation policy.
Can check-in interval be changed?
Yes, supervisors may require a different interval as part of approval or route instruction.
