Abstract: Humanitarian aid work is an incredibly rewarding experience, but its workers are exposed to specific risks. During the last decades, the Humanitarian Aid Workers are increasingly at risk without being necessarily prepared for work in insecure environments. Moreover, in many instances, despite having been briefed, they had not followed preventive measures for their health and safety.From an employer's perspective, International Organizations have a direct duty of care obligations for their workers in matters of safety, security, and well-being. Thus, the employers are required to implement a preventive approach mainly focused on a better risk communication and an integrated occupational health and safety management system.
