•B.R. Hollifield, Alarm Management: Seven Effective Methods for Optimum Performance
•Alarm handler objectives- acoustic alarm if operator intervention required- every possible problem should raise an alarm- no alarm, if no operator intervention is required!- provide guidance
•Alarm handler is THE central operator tool

•Characteristics of a good alarm- Relevant- Unique- Timely- Prioritised- Understandable- Diagnostic- Advisory- Focussing
•Define “Alarm Philosophy”- Every alarm is documented and has an identified response- Alarm must not be ignored!- What alarms, which priorities and guidance?- Responsibilities, Key Performance Indicator
•Regular Alarm Performance Report- Analyse alarm frequencies- Lists of nuisance and stale alarms- Define action plan and assess progress

•Alarm Documentation and Rationalization- Create alarm priority grid- Document each alarm type: causes, corrective actions,
consequences, time to respond, desired modifications, …- Alarm trip-point determination- Operator Training- Alarm philosophy- Handling and reporting nuisance alarms- Controls applications regarding alarms- Who can change what: alarm trip levels, alarm disabling- Alarm handling strategies: Shelving, State-Based, Flood Suppression, …- Proper and improper alarm suppression
