HEAT training by Fondazione SAFE
Be Ready. Be Trained. Operate Safely in Hostile Environments
In today’s world, risk is not optional. Preparation shouldn’t be either.
Whether you’re a journalist reporting from a conflict zone, an independent expert on assignment in unstable areas, or a company with staff operating abroad, the ability to recognise, manage and mitigate risk is no longer a plus, it’s a necessity.
That’s where BeSAFE HEAT comes in.
