| Name | Reducing Alarms Improves Safety - E&P Article |
| Description | Thousands of alarms are built into the control systems of many automated plants and platforms. An unintended conse- quence is the large number of unnec- essary or nuisance alarms. Incident investigations have revealed that consequential or repeat alarm warn- ings from automatic systems can distract staff dealing with a problem and increase stress while concealing important new information. Poor human-machine interface design and alarm prioritization can hinder an effective response. Even small operators can lose up to US $100 million each year to plant upsets and shutdowns. |
