Technological advances in oil and gas are propelling the market toward a new level of efficiency that directly affects safety. PHMSA regulations play a crucial role in achieving this objective by educating operators in alarm management and its impact on controller fatigue, especially with regard to workload management.
While controller workload is a blend of multiple factors, an often overlooked but critical influence on workload involves leak detection alarms.
False leak detection alarms initiate protocols that can stop operations in their tracks and drastically increase controller workload and fatigue. Over time, this can greatly impact an operator’s control room management load.
By considering CRM regulations for alarm management and their relationship with fatigue and workload management, along with the available interpretations and applications via new technologies, operators both in the US and globally may find that there are avenues available that not only assist in reducing workload, but provide strategic cost savings to produce a more safety-conscious environment within the control room.
