LFV Annual Report 2019 1
L F V 2019 RISK MANAGEMEN T RISK MANAGEMENT The S
wedish ordinance on public authorities (SFS 2007:515) stipulates that there must be an internal auditing unit and monitoring within the public authority that functions satisfactorily. The ordinance (SFS 2007:603) on internal governance and monitoring also requires that the internal governance is integrated in the organisation and is a tool for the management's governance. The process must include risk analysis, monitoring measures, follow-up, documentation and assessment. Board of directors Feedback GROUP management Feedback Reference group Feedback En Route Operations LFV's risk process is based on the established main Targets and is integrated in the organisational planning. The risk management takes place in five steps, wherein the basic causes are defined and risks are evaluated, managed and reported. Each department and unit manages operaArea (perspective in the operational plan) Operations and delivery Systems and development GROUP functions and units tional, project and process risks. The group management and the board of directors focus on top risks, which are the risks that are assessed as having the greatest risk value and which are clearly linked to and have a significant influence on the main Targets. A reference group analyses Processes Programmes and projects reported risks on a quarterly basis. The reference group consists of LFV's risk coordinators and local risk coordinators from the departments, among others. Follow-up takes place on a monthly basis in the GROUP management and quarterly in the board of directors. Risk Description Approach Aviation safety LFV's air traffic control must be distinguished by high aviation safety and effectiveness. In order to maintain high aviation safety and minimise the likelihood that aviation safety incidents occur, continuous aviation safety work takes place as all levels within LFV. The likelihood that a serious incident would occur is assessed as being very low. The risks of a “midair collision” or “runway incursion” are included in LFV's focus areas. In addition to investigation of every single incident, LFV works continuously on the focus areas in order to proactively manage aviation safety risks. An annual analysis of incidents within the relevant focus area takes place. Based on those analyses, recommendations are developed and followed up at a later time. During the year, LFV has resumed control of the part of the operations that was previously transferred to NUAC HB. During the autumn, intensive work was carried out to ensure a smooth transition. LFV has coordinated the activities in the management system that manages the aviation safety work. In addition, LFV aligned the aviation safety work with the requirements that apply from EU Regulation 2017/373. The regulation specifies what LFV must do to obtain and maintain licenses for air traffic control and air traffic service. All towers have been inspected this year for the purpose of improving aviation safety. The inspections were distinguished by a so-called Safety II perspective, which entails working proactively and learning from best practices. Good examples have been summarised and shared within the organisation. The collaboration with Swedavia on aviation safety has been solidified during the year with regular exchanges. 66 Reporting
