Designed for operators and controllers in industrial plants and facilities who are responsible for the minute by minute, shift after shift control room operations. This first-of-a-kind handbook is a ready, by-the-side, resource for use during all shift activities with a singular goal: safe and reliable operations through situation awareness, assessment, and management. It is the benchmark by which all subsequent entries into this market will be compared. Included is the important concept of weak signals to identify and understand the many small, seemingly insignificant abnormalities before they can become harmful.
The handbook provides both new and experienced operators and controllers with a rich background of concepts, activities, and experiences to round out their site-based training and activities. It also serves as a solid foundation for in-house operator training. All the basics are here. All of the operational responsibilities and best practice approach options are covered.
Included is a set of cue cards. These cards repeat procedures presented in the handbook, for quick independent access and training.
