LFV Annual report 2018 1
RISK MANA GEMENT L F V 2018 RISK MANAGEMENT The G
overnment Agencies and Institutes Ordinance (2007:515), states that an authority must have internal governance and controls that function in a satisfactory manner. The Ordinance (2007:603) on Internal Governance and Controls further requires that the internal control be integrated in the authority’s operations as a tool for the management's leadership. The process includes risk analysis, control measures, monitoring, documentation, and assessment. Board of directors Feedback Group Management Feedback Reference group Feedback Operations/NUAC Systems and development Sales Group functions and units Processes Projects LFV’s risk process is based on the main objectives that have been set for LFV, and is integrated into its operational planning. There are five steps to this risk management, where root causes are established, and risks are valued, managed, and reported. Every department and function Area (perspectives in operational plan) Operations and delivery manages operational, project, and process risks. The group management and the Board focus on top risks, which are the ones considered to have the greatest risk score and that are clearly connected to the main objectives and have a significant impact on them. A reference group analyses quarterly reported risks. The reference group consists of, among others, LFV’s risk coordinator and local risk coordinators from the departments. Monitoring is carried out monthly for the group management and quarterly for the board of directors. Risk Aviation safety Description Approach LFV’s air traffic management is to be characterised by high aviation safety and efficiency. To maintain a high level of aviation safety and minimise the probability of aviation safety incidents occurring, continuous aviation safety work is conducted at all levels within LFV. The probability that a serious incident should occur is considered to be very low. “Midair collision” and “runway incursion” are two of LFV’s focus areas. In addition to investigating each individual incident, LFV continuously works with seven focus areas to proactively manage aviation safety risks. Each year, incidents in each focus area are analysed. Recommendations are made from these analyses, which are followed up later. During the year, LFV conducted a phraseology campaign for improved communication, proactively participated in planning together with the Swedish Armed Forces for their exercises, and worked closely with airport owners – especially Swedavia – in taking preventative measures for runway incursions. Additionally, improved routines have been introduced for assessing aviation safety risks in connection with changes in systems, procedures and organisation. Ongoing investment in a primary radar facility will eventually help to improve radar coverage. 67 Reporting
