Notice regarding block walls, etc.
Last Updated September 19, 2024
Please check the safety of the walls of your home etc.
Due to the collapse of the fence caused by the earthquake in the northern part of Osaka Prefecture on June 18, 2018, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will check the existing fence such as your home by yourself. We will inform you that a document summarizing the points has been created.
With reference to this, we would like citizens to have a safety check on their fences.
- Checkpoints for inspection of block walls (PDF: 105KB)(Excerpt from the website of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism)
In addition, if any danger is confirmed as a result of the safety inspection, please consult with an expert, display cautions to nearby passers-by, and take measures such as repair and removal.
