The national Standard of Canada has recently been updated including new areas of coverage, new system requirements and information. Take advantage of the opportunity to learn from one of the Technical Committee members who developed the Standard to ask your questions and gain helpful insight for your implementation programs. Learn firsthand what's new in the Standard and how these changes will impact your organization's or facility's projects and implementation programs. |
