A lack of higher salaries is the main reason that the Railway Bureau has been unable to recruit an adequate number of railway inspectors, Taiwan Transportation Safety Board Chairman Young Hong-tsu (楊宏智) said yesterday.
The bureau decided to hire railway inspectors to enhance safety following the derailments of Puyuma Express No. 6432 in 2018 and Taroko Express No. 408 last year, resulting in a total of 67 dead and 479 injured.
The responsibilities of a railway inspector are similar to those of an aviation inspector, to review all railway procedures, equipment and the train to ensure that everything complies with the safety
