Machine-translated summary — verify against original

On June 13, 2025, the Chubu Regional Development Bureau issued administrative guidance to Yoro Railway Co., Ltd. (corporate number 6200001016399), headquartered in Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture, under the Railway Business Act and the Ministerial Ordinance on Technical Standards for Railways. The guidance was prompted by the discovery on May 12, 2025, that a train driver belonging to the company operated a train without properly conducting alcohol breath tests using an alcohol detector before and after duty, as required by Article 11 of the Driver Handling Rules. An audit conducted on May 13, 2025, revealed deficiencies in the alcohol testing procedures and record-keeping, with multiple assistant conductors failing to perform alcohol tests on a specific driver but recording no alcohol detection, and the management department being unaware of the situation. The guidance instructs the company to ensure proper alcohol testing, accurate record-keeping, re-educate employees on alcohol safety and compliance, and establish a system for management to monitor on-site conditions. The company is required to report the measures taken by July 14, 2025. Failure to comply or to confirm safety management improvements may result in orders to improve business operations under the Railway Business Act. The legal basis for the order includes Article 23 of the Railway Business Act and related provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, recognizing that the company's conduct impairs transportation safety and public interest.

貴社所属の運転士１名が、執務前後に実施する酒気帯びの有無の確認のうち、アルコール検知器を用いた検査（以下「アルコール検査」という。）を適切に行わないまま、列車又は車両（以下「列車等」という。）を操縦していたことが令和７年５月１２日に判明した。これを受けて、令和７年５月１３日に保安監査を実施したところ、下記のとおり改善を要する事項が認められたことから、改善措置を講ずるよう指示する。改善措置を講ずるにあたっては、当該事項に係る業務の実施方法、実施状況、管理方法等の妥当性について検証する等により、背後要因を含め当該事項が発生した原因を究明したうえで、再発防止に必要な改善策を策定するとともに、鉄道輸送の安全に係る業務が確実に実施できるよう留意すること。なお、講じた措置については、令和７年７月１４日までに報告されたい。記１．運転取扱心得第１１条に規定する酒気帯びの有無確認について、係員を監督する者（以下「助役」という。）は、運転士に対して執務前後に対面で行い、目視等によるほか、アルコール検知器を用いて酒気帯びの有無を確認することと規定しているが、複数の助役は、特定の運転士１名に対し執務前後のアルコール検査を行っていないにもかかわらず、アルコールが検知されなかったように記録を残した上で、列車等を操縦させていたことを確認した。また、経営管理部門は、アルコール検査に関する現場の状況を把握していなかったことを確認した。よって、同心得に基づき、適切にアルコール検査を実施し、実施状況を正確に記録するとともに、社員に対して、飲酒に関する安全意識の再徹底並びに法令及び規程等の遵守に係る教育を実施すること。また、経営管理部門が現場の状況を把握する体制を整備した上で、現場の課題を整理し、必要な改善を行うとともに、改善の実効性が確保されるよう安全管理体制の強化を図ること。また、この指示に従わず、安全管理体制の改善が確認できない場合は、鉄道事業法に基づき事業の改善を命ずる場合がある。（１）事業改善命令を行使し得る根拠となる法令の条項（行政手続法第３５条第２項第１号）鉄道事業法第２３条（２）上記の条項に規定する要件（行政手続法第３５条第２項第２号）鉄道事業法第２３条の鉄道事業者の事業について、輸送の安全その他公共の利益を阻害している事実があると認められること（３）当該権限の行使が上記の要件に適合する理由（行政手続法第３５条第２項第３号）輸送の安全、その他公共の利益を阻害している事実が確認され、鉄道事業法第２３条第１項第３号及び第６号で定める措置を講ずる必要があるため以上【中部運輸局】
