Field Safety and Security

About the course


* EXTERNAL TRAINING:


  • Selected and identified by OCBA
  • 3 min
  • FREE
  • No certificate


This 3-minute video provides an overview of security best practices and procedures humanitarians should put in place prior to departure, while en route and while working in unsecure locations. No matter how familiar you are with the area, you must develop or familiarise yourself with a security plan and procedures for that area before traveling there. 


Considerations for external training:

  • Since these trainings were created outside of MSF, MSF will not offer Tembo badges for these courses.  In some cases, individual courses may offer their own certificate or other recognition when you finish the course. Tembo will NOT be responsible for the registration, operation, support, or certification of the course because it is an external platform.
  • Remember that the completion of external online training does not exempt you from following MSF standards, protocols, procedures, policies or Codes of Conduct of the organization
  • If you have doubts about which course might be best for you or would like more information about accessing online training, please speak with your line manager/HR and ask for help.
