You can delay your arrival at any time but if you don’t check in, you’ll be prompted by SMS a couple of times after which a Go-Safely team member will get involved and escalate your situation according to previously agreed procedures.

Employees and Travellers can remove the onerous obligation of furnishing every last detail of where they are and what they’re up to, but know they can be found speedily if need be.
