Extreme Weather Is the New Safety Risk: How EHS Leaders Prepare, Protect, and Prevent

Extreme weather is no longer a rare disruption—it’s a constant and growing safety risk for today’s organizations. From extreme heat to unpredictable storms, weather events are increasing the likelihood of incidents, injuries, and costly claims, while also raising the bar for regulatory compliance. 

In this webinar, Origami Risk experts Cameron Schwartz and Emily Wengel in a conversation with Mindi Zissman explore how leading EHS teams are moving beyond reactive response to build safety programs that proactively address weather conditions, connecting local conditions, incident trends, and compliance requirements into a more proactive approach. Our panelists will discuss the real risks of failing to plan for extreme weather, the connection between preparedness and financial impact and how technology and data visibility can support both prevention and compliance—especially as regulations like OSHA’s new Heat Rule continue to evolve. 

Attendees will walk away with practical guidance improving site-level visibility, strengthening emergency preparedness, and using data to anticipate risk before conditions escalate, helping protect workers, reduce incidents, and support defensible compliance decisions.
