Skid control is all about learning how to control and correct the car in the event of a skid, i. e when your tyres lose traction for whatever reason. It could be oil on the road, black ice, snow or standing water that makes you skid. When it happens, the front or rear end of you car moves out and you slide. Skid control will teach you how to recognise what type of skid you’re in(front/understeer or rear/oversteer) and how to get out of it safely.... Skid control schools offer a mix of one to one and small group lessons, so check with each individual supplier.

Block proving through axle counter is a system which provides automatic clearance of block section, by using axle counter to define and clear the block section. The in count of axles at advanced starter signal of the sending end station and out count at home signal of receiving end station provides a check of complete arrival of a train and proves block clearance automatically.

I can’t stress how important it is to get a vet check done on a horse you wish to buy... The vet will issue a written report to you. You can also ask the vet whether the horse will be physically suitable for the discipline that you want to use the horse for... The vet will look at the horse's structure and determine whether his feet and bone structure are suitable for what you wish to do with the horse. He’ll also be able to point out any imperfections. He’ll check the horse's vital signs and check for lameness after being exercised. He’ll check the horse's teeth to see if they correspond to the age the seller claims the horse to be and he’ll also look to see whether the equine's teeth have been maintained. Essentially the vet will check the horse's conformation, movement and soundness, wind, gut sounds, heart and lungs, eyesight and hearing. If anything untoward is apparent then it's a chance for further investigation.

Public Service Commission. Checking references is one of the most useful sources of information about a candidate's past performance or accomplishments. Although the reference check may sometimes be the only source of information on a given qualification, it is most often used to corroborate, clarify, or add to information that has already been gathered. This guide provides practical information which will help you to get the most out of the reference check. Reference checks are used for two purposes. The first is the evaluation of the reliability/security qualification. The second is the evaluation of other abilities, skills, personal suitability, or other qualifications. Sometimes the same reference check will be used for both purposes. The evaluation of the reliability/security qualification is done according to Treasury Board policy. This guide will focus on using the reference check to assess abilities, skills, personal suitability and other qualifications.

Commission de la fonction publique. La vérification des références est l'une des sources d'information les plus utiles sur les réalisations ou le rendement antérieur d'un candidat. Même si elle peut parfois être la seule source d'information sur une qualité donnée, elle sert le plus souvent à corroborer, à préciser et à compléter l'information déjà recueillie. Le présent guide fournit des renseignements pratiques permettant de tirer le maximum de la vérification des références. On distingue deux fins pour lesquelles sont utilisées les vérifications des références. La première est l'évaluation de la fiabilité/sécurité. La seconde est l'évaluation des capacités, compétences, qualités personnelles ou autres qualités. La même vérification des références servira souvent à ces deux fins. L'évaluation de la fiabilité/sécurité se fait conformément à la politique du Conseil du Trésor. Dans le présent guide, l'accent sera mis sur l'utilisation de la vérification des références pour évaluer les capacités, les compétences, les qualités personnelles et les autres qualités.

Accountability out is something different. It was defined in our Round Table as the sense of responsibility that one feels to the law, or to one's sense of personal or professional ethics. Accountability in this sense is a check on behaviour that is imposed either externally(i. e., through obligations flowing from laws or regulations) or internally(i. e, through a sense of personal obligation to abide by a self-imposed standard of conduct). This sense of accountability, if that is not stretching the term too far, is also familiar to anyone who works within an institutional framework and, indeed, is fundamental to any broader account of law and morality.

CONT

Outward accountability, in the sense that scientists and others involved in the project feel their own sense of obligation to the standards of their professional community and to the laws and rules governing the project as a whole.

L'obligation de rendre compte vers l'extérieur est une notion différente : on l'a définie lors de la table ronde comme étant le sens de la responsabilité que l'on éprouve envers la loi, ou envers sa propre morale personnelle ou professionnelle. L'obligation de rendre compte, comprise dans ce sens, est un contrôle du comportement qui est imposé soit de l'extérieur (c.-à-d. par les obligations découlant des lois et des règlements), soit de l'intérieur (c.-à-d. par un sentiment d'obligation personnelle de se conformer à une norme de conduite que l'on s'impose à soi-même). Cette variante de la faculté d'être comptable est également familière à quiconque travaille dans un cadre institutionnel et elle est en fait essentielle à toute expression plus large de la loi et de la moralité.
