SUMMARY:Preventing the Preventable: Inside Industry Risks
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Damien Cullen (Head of Strategic Partnerships) & John Schroder (Head of Underwriting\, Product & Pricing) \nBuilding 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. \nThis 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. \nDesigned 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. \nLearning Objectives: \n1.) Understand the unique operational risk profiles of key industries\nIdentify common and emerging risks in hospitality\, manufacturing\, and retail\, and how they differ beyond surface-level classifications.\n2.) Translate industry-specific insights into actionable risk strategies\nUse operational understanding to develop more accurate and proactive client risk profiles.\n3.) Leverage digital tools to capture and monitor risk indicators\nApply tools like SafetyCulture to identify\, document\, and manage high-frequency operational risks.\n4.) Strengthen client relationships through industry expertise\nBuild credibility and trust by providing tailored\, industry-relevant advice that adds value beyond policy placement.\n5.) Promote proactive risk management and prevention\nEncourage early intervention and preventive practices that reduce losses and improve insurance outcomes. \nRegistrations: Microsoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams \n
