The CFAA Fire Alarm Technician’s Podcast
Ep 20 - Deficiencies in the new ULC standards' updates
Season 1, Ep. 20
•
On this episode, Mark and I discuss some of the definitions and parameters around 'what is a deficiency?'
We will have more episodes to come on this very important subject, as this affects all of your work as a fire alarm technician and how you report and comment on things that 'aren't right'.
Thanks again Mark for joining!
