Emerson Strategies for Abnormal Situation Avoidance & Alarm Management
“Sure, I know that there are too many alarms going off in my control room. The operators complain about it every time they see me. But do you think am I going to be the guy that suppresses the alarm that might avoid real trouble? Not me brother. What I need is a better way to know just what is going on with the department alarms so I can address this is a methodical safe way.”
It is surprising how many well-intentioned alarm designs wind up actually causing operational problems. Larry O’Brien an analyst at the ARC Advisory Group has published his analysis of Emerson’s strategies for dealing with both these issues. This objective third-party report, “Emerson Strategies for Abnormal Situation Avoidance & Alarm Management (513KB PDF).” may point you to a systematic method of improving your operational alarms and getting those grumbling operators focused on something else for a change. It may also prove useful in helping you justify the effort to your management.
