Equipment

While nobody can remove all the danger, journalists can do much to anticipate dangers, reduce risks and come through hazardous assignments safely.

Journalists have an individual responsibility to anticipate and reduce dangers and a collective responsibility through their professional organisations and trades unions to campaign for safer working conditions. Journalists, their organisations and their employers, all have a critical function in reducing the unacceptable rate of death and injury.

A range of specialised equipment is available for journalists working in dangerous environments.

This section gives information about equipment suppliers. INSI gathers details from the organisations themselves plus a variety of other sources. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information provided, but no guarantees can be given. Equipment may change from time to time and contact details may alter.
