The Second Edition of the most complete best
practices book available for designing and
maintaining an effective alarm management
system.

Abnormal situations in plants around the world kill and
injure people, cause significant environmental harm, and
cost the industry billions of dollars every year.
Investigation reports on industrial accidents often point
to faulty alarm systems as a contributing factor. Poorly
performing alarm systems hinder an operator's ability to
prevent accidents or minimize process upsets. Properly
designed and maintained alarm systems significantly
improve plant safety, reliability, and profitability.

The Alarm Management Handbook provides a
field-proven methodology for improving the
performance of industrial facility's alarm systems. It
derives from over a decade of research and the lessons
learned from hundreds of successful alarm improvement
projects.

This highly anticipated new edition contains an
additional fifty pages of information, new figures, and
several completely new sections. It contains the most
up-to-date body of best practices knowledge available
for improving and optimizing the performance of a
modern alarm system. There is additional practical
information on benchmarking alarm system
performance, developing a comprehensive alarm
philosophy, solving nuisance alarm problems,
performing alarm rationalization, implementing
advanced alarm handling techniques, and improving the
human factors associated with alarm systems. The
implications of the new ANSI/ISA-18.2-2009 Management
of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries are also
detailed. Companies have achieved breakthrough results
by following the principles contained in this book.

Whatever the nature of your alarm system, The Alarm
Management Handbook is a necessary part of your
operational excellence and other business improvement
initiatives. This book will help you make a long-lasting
mark in your organization by providing you with
strategies to improve your company's bottom line.
