SUMMARY:Alarm Management
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nFor most industrial facilities\, control system alarms are the primary means to let the Operator know something’s wrong. So what happens when that alarm system hinders the Operator more than it helps? The problem seems overwhelming\, and the alarms you thought provided risk protection are actually doing the opposite. \nThis technical program will help participants understand common alarm management challenges and tackle structured approaches to cultivate an alarm system that supports Operators\, rather than getting in their way\, in any facility—large or small. \nLocation: \n ONLINE ONLY – Zoom Web Meeting \nPresenters:  \n \nStephen Symons \nPrincipal Consultant/Managing Director\, Avoca Consulting \nStephen’s Bio:  \nStephen has worked as an alarm management consultant for almost 20 years now. A large part of that was with a large DCS vendor\, and then with several smaller vendor-independent consultants. Most of his work has been in Oil & Gas and Chemicals\, but also in Power Generation and Pulp & Paper. \nHis primary role is leading his clients through various stages of the alarm management lifecycle. \nRegistration Fee: $0.00 \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nYou may join the meeting starting at approximately 11:00 am for socializing and announcements. \nThe presentation will begin at 11:30 am. \n  \nRegister Now! \n
