Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

Between September 12 and 14, 2022, the Japan Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism conducted a safety audit of Omi Railway Co., Ltd. (法人番号1160001008109, headquartered in Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture). The audit found issues requiring corrective action, including that in July 2021, a mental function test (Crepin) for technical staff was misjudged by the deputy of the track maintenance section, despite not meeting the qualification standards specified in Article 8 of the Railway Department's suitability test implementation guidelines. As a result, personnel who failed the test continued to perform safety-related duties without re-examination as prescribed by Article 7. Additionally, management did not properly oversee the test results, failing to fulfill responsibilities outlined in Article 9, Paragraph 2, Item 5, and Article 32, Paragraph 2, of the safety management regulations. The company was instructed to promptly conduct mental function tests on the deputy, confirm their suitability for duty, and reinforce management responsibilities. Furthermore, the transportation department responsible for conducting and judging the tests was advised to provide education to the examiners and establish a system in coordination with the engineering department to ensure proper implementation of mental function tests. The company must report on the corrective measures by December 6, 2022.
