Violation

Between December 15 and 17, 2021, the Japan Transport Safety Board conducted a safety audit of Hokuriku Railway Co., Ltd. (corporate number 1220001006411), headquartered in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The audit revealed deficiencies, notably that track displacement inspections on the Ishikawa Line (from 2k803m to 2k922m) were not conducted within the allowable period as specified by Article 61, Paragraph 2 of the Civil Engineering Standards (Ministry Ordinance). As a result, the company was instructed to strengthen its safety management system by establishing a system to accurately grasp on-site conditions, regularly verify operational status, organize issues, and implement necessary improvements. The company must also re-educate relevant personnel, including the safety chief, technical manager, and track maintenance director, on compliance with inspection standards and legal requirements. Additionally, under the safety chief's supervision, the company should review and improve its inspection management system to ensure inspections are conducted within the permitted period, especially when planning or modifying inspection schedules, considering upcoming construction projects. The company is required to report the measures taken by March 17, 2022, to the North Chubu Transport Bureau.
