A "Hazardous Working Environment" is not just working in a war zone as war zones form only one small part of what can be a potentially hazardous environment for organisations to work in. A hazardous working environment broadly falls into one of 3 categories:

• Man Made: e.g. Lack of preparation/planning, ignorance of local laws/customs etc.
• Physical Infrastructure: e.g. State of roads, airports, hospitals etc.
• The Working Environment: e.g. Remoteness of area of operations, seasonal weather changes, working in a known natural disaster zone etc.
