Frontline Risk & Protection Lab

FRONTLINE RISK & PROTECTION

Briefs and minimum protection standards for people who are actually there.

We help organisations who send people into conflict and CBRN-relevant environments make fewer wishful-thinking decisions.

Current focus: Ukraine frontlines & nuclear-relevant sites · Clients: NGOs, newsrooms, security teams.

What we actually do

Three things, kept deliberately small and boring – so they are useable on a bad day.

Frontline risk briefs

Short, conservative briefs for specific theatres (now: Ukraine), written for security and leadership – not for Twitter.

  • One 1–3 risk scale per region.
  • Plain English, 6–10 pages.

Minimum kit standards

For each risk level, we define who you send and the minimum kit they must wear.

  • Built around what a human can work in.
  • Maps to your suppliers or ours.

A shared language

So “no” becomes a structured decision, not a personal argument between security and everyone else.

  • Clear lines: where you go, with whom.
  • A traceable record of how you decided.

Current focus: Ukraine frontline safety & CBRN risk brief

This brief is for you if:

  • You have people on the ground in or near Ukraine frontlines or nuclear-relevant sites.
  • You carry legal and moral responsibility for those people.
  • You want one simple risk scale that links directly to who you send and what they wear.

Tell us where your people are

We prefer to say “you don’t need us” rather than sell a brief that does nothing. Be specific; we will be honest.
