Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

Between July 13 and July 15, 2021, the Hokkaido Transport Bureau conducted a safety audit of Japan Freight Railway Company (JR Freight). The audit revealed that some records of track displacement inspections on sidings were not created or stored properly. As a result, the bureau instructed the company to ensure that records of such inspections are properly created, stored, and managed in accordance with Article 114 of the Railway Facility Implementation Standards. The company was also advised to review and improve its inspection management system to prevent recurrence of similar issues. The company was required to report the corrective actions taken by September 6, 2021.
