Between January 23 and 26, 2024, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism conducted safety audits of Kumamoto Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (corporate number 1330001001517) headquartered in Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The audit revealed the following issues: 1. Obstructions affecting the building limits on the platforms at Fujisaki-miya-mae Station and Kita-Kumamoto Station, contrary to Article 19 of the Track Maintenance Implementation Standards. The company must promptly address these obstructions, revise relevant standards, conduct necessary training, and review maintenance systems to prevent recurrence. 2. Failure to perform certain periodic inspections of electrical facilities mandated by Article 74 of the Electrical Equipment Implementation Standards, specifically the grounding resistance measurements of high-voltage distribution transformers and lightning arresters in fiscal year 2022, and the wireless communication equipment inspections in fiscal year 2020, which were not conducted within the permitted intervals. The company must verify that all periodic inspections are carried out properly and establish systems to ensure inspections are performed as scheduled. The company is instructed to implement these corrective actions and report progress by April 25, 2024.
