We had an in-house construction operation for small projects of the sort
I designed. They were mostly pretty good but my biggest problems came
from their attempts to save money, such as using left-over 90 ohm IT
coax for a CATV project instead of the 70 cable I had specified. The
hospital was horribly mismanaged, though.

behind walls. It tells you nothing about lethality. All sorts of
harmless things can set it off.
