Minute Clinic: Alarm Redundancy Without Alarm Duplication
2015-10-29 18:09:00| Chemical Processing
In todays Minute Clinic, we learn about alarm redundancy without alarm duplication. And no, they are not the same thing. Alarm duplication is multiple alarms on the same variable its done out of fear of missing the first alarm. But its a mistaken belief that it will help you not miss alarms. Alarm redundancy is where you have another alarm backing up the first alarm, but its on a different variable entirely. If one variable fails whats the next thing to fail? Listen in to hear more sage advice from Dave Strobhar -- founder and principal-human-factors engineer for Beville Engineering. Dave is also the founder of the Center for Operator Performance.
