Violation
On August 30-31, 2022, the Shikoku Transport Bureau conducted a safety audit of Japan Freight Railway Company (JR Freight). The audit revealed that some electrical equipment's regular inspections, including inspection tasks delegated to other railway operators, were either not performed or exceeded the allowable inspection period. This indicates that the regular inspection and management of electrical equipment were not properly maintained. The bureau has instructed JR Freight to ensure that all electrical equipment requiring regular inspections are properly inspected and that the results are appropriately managed. The company must also establish and implement methods and systems for the execution and management of these inspections. The company is required to report on the measures taken by November 7, 2022.
