保守作業時における安全の確保については、機会あるごとに注意を喚起してきたところであるが、令和５年１２月５日に山陽線里庄駅～笠岡駅間において、線路保守作業中の作業員が列車に接触し、死亡する鉄道人身障害事故が発生した。貴社では、平成２９年２月１１日に山陽線糸崎駅構内において同様の死亡事故が発生しており、再びこのような事故を発生させたことは誠に遺憾である。今回の事故の原因については、運輸安全委員会おいて調査中であるが、貴社においても、同様な事故が発生しないよう早急に原因を究明し、再発防止を図るための措置を講ずるよう厳重に警告する。また、講じた措置等については、文書により速やかに報告されたい。【中国運輸局】
