| Summary | On February 5-6, 2026, a safety audit was conducted on Kabushiki Kaisha DMCaizu. The audit revealed that the inspection and testing of the single-line fixed circular special cableway, as specified in Article 5 of the Cableway Facility Maintenance Rules and its appendix, exceeded the prescribed disassembly inspection cycle for the grip device. Additionally, records of some temporary inspections (conformance checks) conducted under Article 8 of the same rules were not maintained. The authority has instructed the company to re-evaluate whether the extended inspection cycle poses safety risks, to amend the maintenance rules if necessary, and to ensure thorough inspections and record-keeping. The company is required to report on the corrective measures by April 30, 2026. |
