Safety - Germany
PRB monitoring
▪ DFS achieved the RP3 EoSM targets in two out of five management objectives. DFS still needs to improve safety risk management, safety assurance and safety promotion.
▪ The EoSM performance is lower than expected based on the maturity achieved at the end of RP2 when DFS exceeded the target on most management objectives. This may reflect a conservative approach used by DFS when assessing maturity using the new EoSM definition in RP3.
▪ Since DFS needs to improve maturity by one level on five EoSM questions (out of 28) to achieve the RP3 targets, the PRB considers this feasible. However, the NSA did not provide any actions or correcting measures that are being considered/ implemented to improve the EoSM performance. The PRB encourages the NSA to establish these as soon as possible.
▪ Germany recorded lower rates of both SMIs and RIs in 2020 compared with 2019.
▪ DFS should improve its SMS by implementing automated safety data recording systems.
