From Prediction to Performance: Inter-Industry Health & Safety Outlook 2026
As you look ahead to 2026, change and subsequent business risk are cycling faster than most organizations’ playbooks. This panel brings together experts from energy, consumer packaged goods, construction, transportation, mining, and industrial manufacturing to compare what’s working – and what still keeps them up at night.
Our panelists unpack how they see business leaders balance relentless production pressure with serious-injury and fatality prevention, managing contractor and supply-chain risk, and strengthening safety culture in dispersed, 24/7 operations.
They explore where AI, analytics, and connected-worker technologies are genuinely reducing exposure – and where adoption, trust, and skills are still lagging. Also, hear how psychological safety and culture are woven into “real-world” safety strategies, from the rig, plant, and factory to the road and remote job site, -- and how external volatility can shape human behavior on the job.
Designed for leaders who value human safety, this session will give you a clear view of trends, tactics, and critical watchouts shaping 2026 safety priorities, metrics, and investments.
