Safety - Portugal

PRB monitoring

▪ NAV Portugal has continued the high safety performance and further exceeded the EoSM targets level in four management areas. NAV Portugal implemented continuous monitoring process with the development of new tools and indicators to ensure maintaining current safety performance.

▪ Portugal recorded stable performance with respect to safety occurrences. Rates increases relative to 2020, however rates in 2020 were low since no occurrences were reported. The NSA monitors the occurrences rate and implementation of specific measures through the regular audits, associated with the continuous supervision processes.

▪ NAV Portugal should improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems.

Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) (KPI#1)

Focus on EoSM

All five EoSM components of the ANSP meet, or exceed, already the 2024 target level. Improvements in maturity has been observed with respect to 2020 in “Safety Culture”.
