Dcs Alarm Management Training

At Sarom Global, we bring real-world expertise to organizations seeking DCS Alarm Management Training that delivers measurable results. With decades of hands-on experience in Factory Alarm Management and Distributed Control Systems (DCS), we understand the critical role alarm systems play in industrial safety, operational efficiency and compliance.

Whether you’re managing a refinery, chemical plant, power station or manufacturing unit, alarm overload, nuisance alarms and alarm floods can lead to poor operator response and increase risk. We want to train engineers, operators and control room teams to manage alarms more effectively, reduce downtime and prevent incidents.

Modern industrial systems generate thousands of alarms, but not all alarms are created equal. Without a structured alarm philosophy and proper training, control rooms become overwhelmed. Operators may overlook or ignore alarms, leading to near misses, production losses and in worst cases, catastrophic failures.

Understanding human factors is crucial in alarm management, as neglecting these can lead to ineffective monitoring and increased risks in operational settings.

That’s where a structured Alarm Management Training Course comes in.

We help your team build the skills to:

• Prioritize alarms based on risk and criticality
• Reduce alarm noise and nuisance alarms
• Apply industry standards like ISA-18.2 and EEMUA 191
• Improve alarm response time and accuracy
• Ensure DCS alarm configuration is aligned with best practices

Sarom Global offers customized DCS Alarm Management Training programs tailored to your plant, system, and operations personnel needs. Our training is based on international standards but grounded in practical, field-tested methodologies.

Managing alarms effectively during abnormal situations is crucial to ensure safety and operational continuity. Proper configuration and enforcement of alarms help operators quickly identify and respond to escalating abnormal situations, mitigating risks to safety, reputation, and operations.

Sarom Global is led by a seasoned Alarm Management Trainer with in-depth knowledge of both legacy and modern alarm systems. With a proven track record across multiple industries globally, we understand not only how DCS alarms work—but how to make them work better for process operators.

Managing stress levels is crucial in alarm management, especially for control room operators and emergency responders who face intense working conditions and alarm overload.

Our training is also available in an online format as a self-guided training course, allowing teams to engage with essential Alarm Management training protocols at their own pace, enhancing operator performance and situation awareness in control rooms.

After our Alarm Management Training, your team will be able to:

• Interpret alarm KPIs (standing alarms, chattering alarms, etc.)
• Create and maintain an alarm philosophy document
• Use alarm analysis tools to monitor trends and deviations
• Conduct successful alarm audits and performance reviews
