The Risk Landscape Has Changed: What’s Next for Serious Harm Prevention
Nov 20, 2026WebinarWednesday, November 19, 2026- 2:00 PM (ET)
Organizations have made substantial progress in workplace safety, yet serious injuries, fatalities and catastrophic events continue to occur. One reason is that many safety strategies still address risks that increasingly interact across people, processes, assets and management systems in relative isolation. Traditional safety measures can show what has happened, but they may not provide a complete picture of where serious-harm exposure is emerging, whether the controls intended to prevent it remain effective, or how signals distributed across the organization fit together.
In this webinar, DEKRA serious & catastrophic incident reduction experts, Erika Gwilt and Jim Mouio will examine operational signals reshaping serious-harm prevention, from aging assets and changing operating models to fragmented risk information, organizational silos and low-frequency, high-consequence events. They will share DEKRA’s perspective on why occupational serious-injury risk and catastrophic/process-safety risk require a more connected leadership view, without losing the technical rigor of either discipline.
Together we will explore:
- Why improving traditional safety performance does not necessarily provide a complete picture of serious-harm potential
- How risk signals and evidence can remain dispersed across incidents, audits, maintenance information, observations and operational systems
- Why connecting and interpreting evidence matters more than simply collecting more data
- How leaders can move from retrospective measures toward a clearer view of exposure, control health and priorities
What a more connected, evidence-led approach to serious-harm prevention could look like
The next chapter of serious-harm prevention is taking shape. Join us for an early look at the thinking behind it, with more to come in January.
