Key facts
The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) has carried out a follow-up audit at the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) on the implementation of the key recommendation from the 2023 report ‘Critical infrastructure protection audit – Supervision of water retaining facilities’. For the monitoring and surveillance of safety supervision, the SFAO recommend that the SFOE prepare and introduce a basic framework as part of a safety management system. This should cover the SFOE’s direct supervision of around 200 of the largest water retaining facilities throughout Switzerland, and their indirect supervision of the canton with around 200 facilities under supervision.
