| Summary | On January 28, 2026, a safety audit was conducted on Tazawako Kogen Lift Co., Ltd. The audit revealed deficiencies requiring corrective actions. The company was instructed to take measures and report by April 20, 2026. It was confirmed that during the temporary inspection (2) (conformity verification inspection) for the single-line automatic circulating special cableway and the single-line fixed circulating special cableway, some inspection results were not recorded. The company must ensure that inspection results are reliably documented in accordance with Article 8 of the relevant regulations, and records should only include equipment actually inspected. Since regular inspections, checks, and maintenance are fundamental for cableway facilities, the company must ensure these are performed and recorded properly, and manage the process to prevent omissions. Additionally, personnel allocation and operational methods for maintenance staff should be reviewed to establish an appropriate maintenance system for the cableway facilities. |
