Drawing on new data from Avetta’s global network of 130,000 suppliers, the Avetta Insights & Impact Report 2026 reveals a clear pattern: organisations that invest in strong safety foundations, expand visibility into supply chain risk, and strategically layer risk management capabilities achieve fewer incidents, stronger safety performance, and more reliable operations.

In this webinar, Avetta’s safety expert, Scott DeBow, and Principal of Health, Safety and Environment, Jai Restall, will unpack the key findings from the report, exploring how operational risk management evolves when organisations move beyond isolated programs and “tick-box” compliance.

Attendees will learn why layered, systems based approaches consistently outperform single point solutions — and how improved risk visibility across the supply chain supports better decision making and safer outcomes.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clear understanding of how strong safety foundations reduce incidents and fatalities across complex supply chains

  • Insight into the role of risk visibility and strategically layered capabilities in improving operational performance

  • Practical perspective on applying data driven safety and supply chain risk management strategies within your organisation
