Institutionalizing
Alarm Management
What is alarm management? Most
plant personnel equate alarm management with reducing alarms;
however, this is only one piece of the puzzle. The whole puzzle
involves providing operators with enough information to prevent
abnormal situations and to prevent the escalation of those
abnormal situations that cannot be prevented. This article
reviews the benefits of alarm management, the causes of alarm
problems, and a description of a proven approach that many
industry leaders have adopted to realize the benefits of good
alarm management practices.
