Safety - Netherlands
PRB monitoring
▪ LVNL achieved its EoSM target in four out of five safety management objectives. The safety risk management objective was the only objective to not reach the target.
▪ The NSA explained that a limited update is required to the safety risk management process to achieve the RP3 target.
▪ LVNL’s 2020 EoSM performance is consistent with the safety maturity achieved at the end of RP2. The need to implement improvements in the safety risk management objective was anticipated and a small improvement will ensure that LVNL will achieve the EoSM targets before the end of RP3.
▪ The Netherlands recorded a higher rate of SMIs, which is unusual compared to other Member States and not what was expected considering the reduced level of traffic. On the other hand, the rate of RIs fell by more than 90% in 2020 compared to 2019.
▪ LVNL should improve its SMS by implementing automated safety data recording systems for RIs and SMIs.
