Assign topic to the user
Answer:
Risks in ISO 14001 as well as opportunities need to be identified not only regarding environmental aspects but also regarding compliance obligations and context of the organization. You don't need to turn your significant environmental aspects into risk but rather to examine what can go wrong in operational controls that can lead to escalation of the environmental aspect and damaging the environment. The example you stated is a good direction for identifying risks. Also you need to determine risks related to legal requirements and possible actions to avoid violation of those requirements.
