English summary	The audit revealed that Sapporo City had modified railway safety manuals without proper notification to the regional transport bureau as required by Article 4-2 of the Railway Operations Regulations. It also found that inspections such as rail fastening conditions and track inspections (including 'passing' and 'height difference' checks) were not conducted on certain lines, excluding intersections with signals. Additionally, there were deficiencies in electrical insulation resistance measurements and inspections of train components, such as the height of sand pipes and rescue devices, for specific train models. The authority was instructed to promptly conduct necessary inspections, revise related regulations and manuals to ensure consistency, and reinforce internal compliance and inspection systems to maintain safety standards. The findings and corrective measures are to be reported by the end of January 2022.
