OBS

In many instances Cabinet Ministers are asked questions in the House of Commons as a result of news reports or information derived from other sources. Therefore, in this order, "unusual incident" means any occurrence, major or minor, including news reports, that will or may create public interest, or is likely to be the subject of questions to the Minister or Associate Minister directly or in the House of Commons. Incidents that fall within the "may" aspects of this definition are anticipatory and as such must be assessed against the criteria :"is it possible that the incident will create public interest and form the subject of question to NDHQ or Ministers? As a general rule, any unusual incident that involves or could involve the public should be assessed as a possible subject for a Significant Incident Report or an Item of Possible Interest to Ministers.

CONT

Safety is to be improved at the Homer Tunnel.... There is only enough room for one bus at a time, the tunnel is not lit and there is no emergency phone within the tunnel itself. Sunday's fire, although an unusual incident, is now raising wider issues for Transit including whether to make the tunnel two way. But tour operators say traffic flow was not to blame. David Kennedy of Destination Queenstown says :"The issue was a bizarre freak incident. A bus caught fire in the tunnel and whether it was a one way tunnel or two way tunnel would have been irrelevant, I think. "

CONT

Selon la nature du terrain, on optera pour un tunnel à double sens (dépassement utilisant la piste centrale) ou deux tunnels séparés chacun à sens unique (dépassement plus difficile, vu l'étroitesse de la chaussée : 6 m).

CONT

D'autres aspects, tels la sécurité et l'entretien, doivent également être discutés en corrélation avec une seconde galerie. Il va sans dire qu'un tunnel pour chaque sens de circulation est plus sûr qu'un seul tunnel à double sens. C'est ainsi que le nombre d'accidents recensés au tunnel du Seelisberg est inférieur de moitié à celui enregistré au tunnel du Gothard. Il n'empêche : l'actuel tunnel routier du Gothard est, selon l'OFROU [Office fédéral des routes], l'un des tunnels routiers les plus sûrs d'Europe.

CONT

Much like the Alaska Marine Highway System, a staging area will be used at both ends of the tunnel for vehicles to line up for the next change of direction of travel. Since this is a one way tunnel, vehicles will have to wait their turn to go through the tunnel. In general, only a 15 minute period will be used for cars in one direction and then the direction of travel will be reversed.

Any occurrence, major or minor, that will or may create public interest, and is likely to be the subject of questions to the Minister directly or in the House of Commons. Incidents that fall within the "may" aspects of this definition are anticipatory and as such must be assessed against the criteria: "is it possible that the incident will create public interest and form the subject of questions to NDHQ". As a general rule, any incident that involves the public should be assessed as a possible subject for a Significant Incident Report. [4-13)AL 32/77)

  • Militaire (Généralités)
  • Administration militaire
OBS

Tout événement, de grande ou de faible importance, qui éveillera ou risque d'éveiller l'intérêt du public, et qui, par conséquent, est susceptible de donner lieu à des questions posées directement au Ministre ou soulevées à la Chambre des communes. Les incidents considérés comme «pouvant» éveiller l'intérêt public, aux termes de cette définition, sont d'ordre conjectural et doivent donc être appréciés en fonction de l'explication suivante : «il est possible que cet incident puisse éveiller l'intérêt public et être source de questions adressées au QGDN». En règle générale, on doit considérer tout incident qui touche directement le public comme susceptible de faire l'objet d'un Rapport sur un incident d'importance. [4-13)Mod. 32/77)
