Abstract
The importance of the research lies in knowing the extent to which those in charge of engineering projects know the importance of studying the concept of risk and risk management in projects, identifying the risks most likely to occur and most affecting the implementation of projects and analyzing them, and then the possible response to potential risks within the stages of projects. For this regard, The descriptive analytical approach was followed to find out and evaluate the causes of risks that affect the implementation of engineering projects, through a set of data that was collected by designing a questionnaire and distributing it to a number of workers in the field of construction projects, including project owners, contractors and consultants. Statistical analysis was used to analyze the data as an introduction to the stage Interpretation and generalization of the results to reach proposals and recommendations for environmental security. The result concluded that the difference in architectural and construction plans is the first design, Misunderstanding of plans, conditions, and specifications is the least risk, Difficulty accessing the site is the first natural hazard, Wind and rain are the least natural hazards, Existence Non-permanent and technically unqualified employment, non-compliance of workers with the schedule are the most important human risks, Delayed disbursement of payments according to the contract is the least financial risk.
