peer agreement (net): +1Transcription error? Explanation: IS it a transcription? Because if so, it might be a mishearing of "safety ADITS", or lateral escape routes (and the number of people who would have to use them in an emergency). Otherwise, I entirely agree with Terry. |

Person/people concerned about safety and hazards Explanation: certainly not a common word/expression at all (only 1,000 ghits and many of those repeats) and quite strange here. I assume you're right about it meaning the safety services: those experts in charge of ensuring the safety of the tunnel. I can't see it being anything else here -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2014-01-22 01:37:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- so these people look at "The statistical treatment of hazard flow and evacuation processes" and then think about/consider "the uncertainties related to the models" and also think about "the safety systems performance". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2014-01-22 10:38:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I see others agree that this is extremely unusual here and probably not at all the right expression. So, either it has been written incorrectly in the first place or transcribed/translated incorrectly. David could be correct, IF this is transcription, that the word should be ADIT or entryway, often put into tunnels and mines as escape routes -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2014-01-22 10:40:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://trb.metapress.com/content/m292822357765t45/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 days (2014-02-27 09:15:19 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Glad to have helped |
