Preventing the Preventable: Inside Industry Risks

Presenters: Damien Cullen (Head of Strategic Partnerships) & John Schroder (Head of Underwriting, Product & Pricing)
Building on “Beyond the ANZSIC Code,” this session explores the real operational risks across hospitality, manufacturing, and retail. Every industry faces unique challenges, and understanding them at a practical, operational level helps brokers anticipate issues before they escalate.
This session takes the next step beyond classification to uncover how factors like safety and compliance in hospitality, process and equipment risks in manufacturing, and workforce or supply chain exposures in retail shape a client’s true risk profile. The webinar highlights how proactive engagement and tools like SafetyCulture can help brokers partner more effectively with clients, reduce claim frequency, and strengthen insurer confidence.
Designed for brokers who want to deliver tailored, industry-specific value, this session continues the “Preventing the Preventable” series — and can be adapted to focus on a single industry or provide a comparative overview across all three.
