1. CHAPTER FIVE
Due Diligence

2. Duty of Care: A Buyer’s Guide to Travel Health, Safety and Security
Due
Diligence:
It
is
not
enough
to
simply
state
you
have
a
plan
and
a
process.
Both
standard
business
conven9ons
and
the
courts
require
you
to
prove
it.
As
with
everything
else,
there
is
a
basic
compliance
and
evidence
process
that
you
must
demonstrate
in
order
to
be
truly
compliant
or
prepared.

Fact
Not
Belief:
Unless
you
can
prove
it,
by
means
of
demonstra9on,
compliance
and
verifiable
audits,
it
doesn’t
exist.
That
simple!
What
you
believe
and
what
you
can
prove
in
a
court
of
law
are
two
vastly
different
terms
of
reference.
In accordance with the specified practices and requirements
within the health and safety act/s, here is the basis for
demonstrating due diligence:
1. Knowledge of the relevant laws and standards
2. Relevance to your business and activity
3. Resources allocation specifically for this purpose
4. Processes to support the plan and maintenance
5. Compliance to the laws and resulting plan/strategy
6. Verification it exists and applied routinely
