Alarm management training


Are you being challenged to provide evidence of alarm management? Has the safety or performance of your alarm systems been questioned? Do you know if your operators are burdened with too many alarms and how this might be improved? Could you miss key safety or environmental alarms during an incident? Alarm systems themselves need to be managed; the alarm system needs to be configured in a consistent manner so that the operator is in a position to take the most appropriate action. ABBs practical approach to alarm management takes you through the full alarm lifecycle lifecycle covering the Projects, Operations and Maintenance phases. As well as offering guidance for alarm specification and design, we will help you to identify and solve problems with existing systems such as nuisance alarms. While reduced legislative risk continues to be a major driver, significant financial savings can be achieved from a well designed and maintained alarm system which provides operators with an effective tool to deliver operational benefits including increased up time, higher OEE, improved maintenance and tighter product quality. What the course will cover Standards & Guidance; ASM, ISA, HSE, NAMUR. The course is based on the requirements of ISA 18.2, supplemented as appropriate by the good practice guidance contained in EEMUA 191.
