Vaccines are being rolled out across the globe. The process is occurring faster in some areas than others, sure, but the fact that a vaccine is being distributed at all means that the worst is behind us and that everything will go back to normal. Right?
Okay, so nobody’s really going to be naïve enough to believe that everything will snap back to the way it was prior to the COVID-19 outbreak like a rubber band. And with the possibility of variants to the virus cropping up, an air of uncertainty lingers. Because of this, it’s still wise to take a look at your operations to discover where a flare up of the virus poses the greatest risk. As ISO’s paper, “Risk-Based Thinking in ISO 9001:2015,” states: “In ISO 9001:2015 risks and opportunities are often cited together. Opportunity is not the positive side of risk. An opportunity is a set of circumstances, which makes it possible to do something. Taking or not taking an opportunity then presents different levels of risk.”
