Abstract

Humans have dealt with risks since the dawn of history, and they have become an integral part of daily life, whether these risks resulted from natural causes or were man-made.

The research started from the problem of the General Company for Mining Industries suffering from several risks, the most prominent of which is that the company's factories are exposed to frequent fires, the danger of chemicals and their emissions used in factories, so it was necessary to have a risk management system to address the above cases. The research aims to diagnose the gap between the reality of the risk management system and the company's international standard (ISO31000:2018). The importance of the study appeared in the availability of a proposed mechanism through which the main steps for implementing the risk management system are clarified based on the application of the provisions of the international standard (ISO31000:2018).

The research sample represented the General Company for Mining Industries, one of the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals companies. A case study approach was adopted as a research methodology, which included observation, field experience, and direct meetings. A checklist was also used in the study, and a fishbone diagram (Ishikawa diagram) was used to diagnose the gap problem and the reasons for poor application and documentation in the requirements of the risk management standard (ISO 31000:2018). The research results showed that there is a gap of (40%) between the actual reality of the risk management system and the international standard (ISO31000:2018).
