Sample text
Thus, process designers try to compensate by providing alarms that call the operator’s attention to unusual plant conditions. This approach is fine as long as there are only a few intermittent alarms. However, if there is a major upset, dozens (sometimes hundreds) of alarms “flood” the operator with information that is impossible to comprehend. If the operator is expected to diagnose the situation and prevent a unit shutdown, then an effective system of alarm prioritization is required. Low priority alarms must be suppressed so the operator can focus attention on the status of critical equipment.
Clearly, workstations are a subset of the workplace. An operator may travel between and work at several different workstations in the workplace. A good workplace and workstation design is based on biomechanical, physiological, and psychological requirements of the user. Body stress can result from manual material handling, constrained posture, frequent movement between tasks, and frequent repetitions. Poor work flow and layout can cause unnecessary fatigue even as production processes become more automated.
Provide appropriate training for remote operations. Provide appropriate rules and monitoring. Qualify operators for remote operations. Address emergency operations, including communications. Rotate field and control room operators to providing a better understanding of their respective jobs and improved communications. Design the control system to insure the displays provide sufficient and appropriate information to allow operators to determine what is happening in the process. Install CCTV, as appropriate, to allow visual monitoring of the process.
