This interactive alarm related session is provided for attendees that are not familiar with alarm management and why alarms are a challenge. We expect attendees to ask basic (and advanced) questions in an open and inviting session. We welcome attendees that don’t have alarm management as their primary responsibility to better understand how their roles can impact the console operators experience with alarms (e.g. refinery personnel may want more alarms than needed thinking more is better). Participants will:
Learn a basic understanding to why alarm management is so important to safe and effective operation (regardless of discipline)
Be able to ask any question related to alarms
