As EHS leaders prepare for 2027, a critical question is emerging: What evidence gives us confidence that serious risks are controlled before harm occurs?

Drawing on candid discussions from the DEKRA Executive Roundtable, which brought together safety leaders representing 13 organizations across eight industry segments, this webinar explores the priorities and challenges shaping the 2027 EHS agenda.

Join DEKRA’s Ryan Gallagher, SVP of Global Operational Safety & Risk Consulting, and James Grant, VP and Large-Scale Transformation Expert, as they unpack insights from the roundtable and examine the shift from traditional safety reporting toward predictive governance and greater assurance. They’ll explore how organizations are approaching serious risk, critical controls, leading indicators, contractor accountability, and the evolving role of AI and human judgment.

Key Learnings:

  • Rethink how serious risk is governed: Look beyond injury frequency to understand exposure and verify that critical controls are working.
  • Move from measuring activity to building assurance: Develop leading indicators that are risk-linked, credible, and capable of driving better decisions.
  • Prepare for the next evolution of safety leadership: Explore how contractor accountability, AI, workforce insight, and human judgment can strengthen how organizations recognize risk and act earlier.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear what’s top of mind for EHS leaders across industries and gain practical insight into the priorities shaping 2027. Walk away with new perspectives to challenge your current approach, strengthen decision-making, and help your organization stay ahead of emerging safety risks.
