Preventing Occupational Accidents

The Group regards struck-by accidents, falls, and electrocution as serious occupational accidents, and takes a range of measures to prevent them.
The TC-type wireless train approach warning system (TC alarm) alerts workers to an approaching train using sound. Since its adoption in 1998, we have had no fatal struck-by accidents during maintenance work when using the system.
In recent years, we have been capturing on changes both inside and outside the Company and incorporating new technologies, such as using drones for track surveys and equipment inspections following heavy rains or earthquakes, in an effort to improve work environments and prevent workplace accidents.
