- Effective alarm prioritization based on potential consequences of inaction and allowable time to respond
- Establishing alarm setpoints based on design constraints, operating boundaries, process dynamics, and safe operating limits
- Effective use of alarm classification for administration, reporting, testing, performance evaluation, and MOC
- Similarities and differences between alarm rationalization and process hazard analysis (PHA); when to leverage PHA results during rationalization
- How to treat system / instrument diagnostic alarms and alerts
- Effective design and implementation of safety (related) alarms
- How to apply alarm deadband and on / off delays to prevent nuisance alarms
- Applying human factors to improve the operator’s response through improved HMI design and use of alarm response procedures
- Best practices for implementing conditional alarming, state-based alarming, and alarm flood suppression
- Keys to effectively implement / allow operators to manually suppress alarms (alarm shelving)
- How to evaluate alarm system performance vs KPIs
- How to identify and resolve common alarm management issues (e.g., nuisance alarms and alarm floods)
- Implementing an effective and useful management of change process
- Alarm system maintenance
