| English summary | Between January 23 and 26, 2024, the Kyushu Transport Bureau conducted a safety audit of Kumamoto Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (corporate number 1330001001517), headquartered in Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The audit revealed the following issues: 1. Obstructions to the building limits specified in Article 19 of the Track Maintenance Standards at Fushigami-mae and Kita-Kumamoto stations, requiring urgent corrective actions and revisions to maintenance standards and staff training to prevent recurrence. 2. Failure to perform ground resistance measurements on pole-mounted transformers and lightning arresters during the 2022 fiscal year's periodic inspections of high-voltage distribution lines, as well as overdue wireless communication equipment inspections from the 2020 fiscal year's safety equipment inspections, violating Articles 74 and 57 of the Electrical Equipment Standards and Safety Equipment Standards respectively. The company is instructed to verify that periodic inspections are conducted properly and timely, establish inspection checklists suited to each equipment type, and build a system to ensure inspections are reliably carried out. The company must investigate the root causes, including underlying factors, and implement measures to prevent recurrence. The report of corrective actions is due by April 25, 2024. |
