Violation

On December 5-6, 2024, the Hokkaido Transport Bureau conducted a safety audit of Chuo Bus Niseko Tourism Development Co., Ltd. The audit revealed that the company failed to record inspection and examination results for several ski lift facilities, including the Niseko Annupuri Gondola Lift, Jumbo Quad Lift, and Dream Quad Lift, in accordance with the applicable regulations (Articles 5 of the standards for automatic circulation single-line ropeways, special ropeways, and fixed circulation special ropeways). Specifically, the company did not record the condition of lighting equipment, the wear of return pulleys, the operation status of grip devices, and the condition of auxiliary braking devices and drive equipment during inspections. Additionally, the company’s system for evaluating the results of the incomplete grip detection device on the Jumbo Quad Lift was inadequate, and no proper judgment of inspection results was made. The bureau has instructed the company to review and revise their inspection record forms to ensure proper documentation, establish a system capable of properly evaluating inspection results, and report the corrective actions by January 24, 2025. The guidance aims to ensure compliance with the technical standards for ropeway facilities and improve safety management practices.
