Some Japanese companies follow the practice of creating memorials of their more serious work-place accidents. These “Places of Memory” serve to preserve memories and lessons learned from the accident. However, whereas some of these companies have used “Places of Memory” to achieve safety, others have gone on to again cause near accidents. In this study, we examine the case of Shigaraki Kohgen Railway（SKR）, which had a head-on collision in 1991. This company recouped from the accident and, after resuming operations, they remained accident-free, even receiving a commendation from the Kinki District Transport Bureau. In order to gain insight, this study examines how the memory of the accident and the lessons learned were preserved. Specifically, an exploratory analysis of the accident history booklet published by SKR was conducted by KH Coder. As a result, it was clarified that High Reliability Organization components should be included in the accident history booklet.
