Risk and Opportunity Management Procedure - ISO 31000 aligned for construction

Risk-based thinking is the phrase the standards use; what an auditor actually wants to see is a method. This procedure supplies it: one documented process for identifying, scoring, treating and reviewing risks and opportunities across quality, environment and safety, aligned to ISO 31000 and mapped to clause 6.1 of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Embedded process map included.

One process, every discipline

The procedure sets a common likelihood-and-consequence language, a single escalation path and one review rhythm - so a strategic risk, a site hazard and an environmental exposure are all assessed the same way rather than through five competing spreadsheets. The scoring feeds one register, and leadership sees one picture.

What that fixes

Duplicated risk registers with contradictory ratings are a standing audit finding - and worse, they hide the genuine top ten. A single ISO 31000-aligned method gives you defensible ratings and a risk conversation the whole business can follow. Written for civil construction, mining, utilities and transport by a lead auditor with 15+ years of certification experience, aligned to the current standards including the ISO 9001:2026 FDIS.
