About This Course
Learn Alarm rationalisation process of
- Optimizing the alarm system for safe operation by reducing the number of alarms, reviewing their priority, and validating their alarm limits.
- Reducing the workload of the operators and promote a safer working environment within the plant, and when a plant upset does occur, more visibility is available on the alarms that really matter.
Understand Alarm Rationalization by learning effective procedures & strategies to prioritize & configure alarm settings
What You'll Learn
A widespread issue in manufacturing plants is alarm overload. An alarm warns operators of an abnormal situation in a process and urges them to respond to it. Operator can miss critical alarms or misjudge the situation during the alarm flooding event and lead to increase in the risk of plant disaster or production losses. Thus, proper alarm management is critical for safe and stable plant operations.
According to the investigation report on the explosion and fire at a refinery in Milford Haven, Britain in 1994(1), numerous alarms were announced for five hours before the explosion and the operators overlooked the alarms that indicated the signs leading to the explosion.
The safety of a plant can be maintained only when “the right alarms are annunciated to operators at the right timing
Topics
Alarm Management Guidance & Standards – Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association (EEMUA) 191, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62682, Independent Safety Assessment (ISA) 18.2
Seven Steps to a Highly Effective Alarm System
• Step 1: Develop, Adopt, and Maintain an Alarm Philosophy
• Step 2: Collect Data and Benchmark Your Systems
• Step 3: Perform “Bad Actor” Alarm Resolution
• Step 4: Perform Alarm Documentation and Rationalization
• Step 5: Implement Alarm Audit and Enforcement Technology
• Step 6: Implement Real-Time Alarm Management
• Step 7: Control and Maintain Your Improved System
