Opportunities in ISO45001

2. How we explain other opportunities?

Answer:
1. OH&S opportunities and other opportunities are best described in ISO 45001 clause 6.1.2.3. OH&S opportunities are described as specific OH&S activities that would enhance the OH&S performance, with examples such as adapting work, or eliminating hazards and risks. Other opportunities would consist of other activities that would improve the OH&S management system that are not seen directly as OH&S opportunities. The wording appears to be this way to ensure that people include all opportunities to improve OH&S performance regardless of how they classify those opportunities.
2. So, other opportunities are things you can do to improve the OH&S performance that you might not directly think of as OH&S opportunities, including opportunities from other management systems that have an affect on the OH&S performance. An example might be if you were replacing a chemical in your process in order to improve the quality o f the product created. The new chemical will have different OH&S effects than the old chemical and the OH&S risk posed by a new chemical may become part of your decision of which replacement chemical to choose.

How to identify the opportunities from the risk involved 

Opportunities are not necessarily related to the risks. OH&S opportunities are about reducing or eliminating the risks associated with hazards, so for these you can think of how to make the risk less as an OH&S opportunity, but other opportunities are not necessarily from risks. These are top level opportunities that you might identify as part of a SWOT analysis or other strategic planning process to identify uncertainties you can capitalize on.
