About this Webinar

"Critical risk" has long been the language of industries where the stakes are visible. A wrong step in a mine, a fall from scaffolding, a machine without a guard. But every industry has critical risks. 

In banking, it could be the security breach that erases trust overnight. In retail, it's the frontline worker facing customer aggression with no backup. The consequence may not be a fatality or injury — but the exposure is just as real.

In this session, Nada Wentzel unpacks the true complexity of critical risks across industries. Moving beyond physical hazards, she explores what’s really at stake in different environments, including those without hard hats.

She’ll examine how human error and inattention drive incidents across sectors, and how risk is embedded in decisions made under pressure, in what people feel safe to report, and in what quietly builds beneath the surface until something gives.

What You'll Learn

• Critical risk isn’t industry-specific. What “critical” really means when the outcome isn’t a fatality, but a breach, an act of aggression, or a culture that quietly wears people down.

• What critical risk looks like beyond traditional settings. How it shows up in retail, banking, logistics, education and other industries.

• Limbic risk and the role of inattention. Why everyday human error sits at the centre of many incidents, and what brain science reveals about how and why it happens.

• Making the invisible manageable. Practical ways to surface human risk before it surfaces itself, through better data, stronger cultures, and more informed decisions.
