Preventing the Preventable: Inside Industry Risks
2026-05-28 12:00 - 13:00
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.
Learning Objectives:
1.) Understand the unique operational risk profiles of key industries
Identify common and emerging risks in hospitality, manufacturing, and retail, and how they differ beyond surface-level classifications.
2.) Translate industry-specific insights into actionable risk strategies
Use operational understanding to develop more accurate and proactive client risk profiles.
3.) Leverage digital tools to capture and monitor risk indicators
Apply tools like SafetyCulture to identify, document, and manage high-frequency operational risks.
4.) Strengthen client relationships through industry expertise
Build credibility and trust by providing tailored, industry-relevant advice that adds value beyond policy placement.
5.) Promote proactive risk management and prevention
Encourage early intervention and preventive practices that reduce losses and improve insurance outcomes.
