7.1.1 General Principles
Alarm prioritization is to be accomplished using three priority levels and is to be based on a continuum of importance, severity, or time- based need for operator action.
Each alarm should prompt a unique action or response (e.g., monitoring). If there is no action required, there should be no alarm. If multiple alarms all prompt the same action, there should only be one alarm with the visual alarms denoting each system sending the audible alarm signal.
A notification that has no associated panel operator action as stated above shall be considered as an alert or message (sometimes called ) and logged in the system for any post-event analysis or to journal be used as historical data.
Cues for prompt recognition of out-of-service alarms should be designed into the system. The system should log the operator who initiated out-of-service alarm together with date/ time/ authorization details.
Further, system should all reporting of all the out-of-service alarms on demand and at the end/ start of each operation shift.
The limits or set points for initiating the annunciator warning system should be established to meet the following goals:
i. Alarms should not occur so frequently as to be considered a nuisance by the operators.

CONTRACTOR
Status (Open / Closed)
ii. If applicable, the limits or set points that initiate an alarm or warning display should be set so that the alarm gives operators adequate time to respond to the condition before it becomes more serious.
iii. If it is possible for an alarm to be ON or disabled for an extended period during normal operations (e.g., for equipment repair), the alarm is to be distinctively coded for positive recognition during this period.
For control panels, a control to test the auditory signal and flashing illumination of alarms is to be provided.
Repetitive groups of alarms should have the same arrangement and relative location at different workstations. Any alarm controls (e.g., acknowledge, reset, clear) should be consistent from panel to panel.
For the brown-field works and the facilities being added as the part of existing process area the existing HMI and associated philosophy/ practice should be considered.
7.1.2 Visual Alarms
For Control workstations and local control panels visual alarms shall have:
a. Sufficient contrast between illuminated versus non-
illuminated alarm banners and flashing versus steady on b. alarms is to be provided so that operators can easily and
instantaneously discern each state.
c. Color coding is to be consistent across all alarm displays and
shall reflect alarm priority.

d. Conspicuousness of color coding of alarms should reflect
alarm priority and state.
e. Due to the possibility of the operator having impaired color vision, color coding should not be used on its own but as a secondary indication. Other methods such as text, shape, shading or contrast shall be used as a primary means. Alarm priorities shall be displayed using at least three distinct visual features inclusive of distinct color codes, distinct alarm prompt shapes, distinct text for each alarm priority.

No audible alarms should exceed 110 dB(A) without specific written approval
Completion of a corrective action is to automatically terminate the audible signal
Acceptable priority coding methods for audible signals include a combination of pulse coding, duration, frequency, intensity change, and shape change may be used as designated by EEMUA 191.
Audible signals should have a frequency range between 200 and 5000 Hz.

Layout and clearance should be such that both the display and alarm remain clearly visible to the operator whilst operating the control actuator.
Controls and displays / alarms used on identical systems located in different locations in the same compartment or in different compartments should be located in the same spatial relationship to the equipment in each compartment.

For control actuators that cannot be located beneath or to the right of their respective displays or alarms, the actuators should be grouped in the same row arrangement as the displays or alarms.
An analogue display that must be monitored concurrently with manipulation of a related control should be located so that the operator can observe the display directly to avoid parallax error.
When the manipulation of one control requires the reading of several displays, the control should be placed as near as possible to the related displays and below the middle of the displays, but not so as to obscure the displays when manipulating the control.

The middle field with a visual angle between 1° and 40°, where objects are not in sharp focus, but movements and strong contrasts will be noticed. The outer field with a visual angle ranging between 40° and 70°, where objects are not sharp. Objects need to be moving to be noticeable.
Objects that the operator needs to see clearly therefore must be located in their optimal field area.
10.1.1.4 Color Vision
Different lighting bright light, eyes are more sensitive to red and less sensitive to blue. In lower levels of illumination, the reverse is true. Perceived color is also dependent on the color rendering index (CRI). See 9.2.1.1 for further details. Color blindness (especially red-green) is not uncommon and affects about 8% of the male population and 1% of the female population.

information and should be used as an additional method in conjunction with other methods.
10.1.1.5 Visual Acuity
Visual acuity needs to be considered, for instance, when designing signs on plant, specifying gauge sizes or visual displays in the control room. The required height of any text is dependent on the normal maximum viewing distance. For favorable conditions, the following formula should be used.
H=D/200
Where: H is the character height D is the distance. (the units of measurement are the same for both H and D but can be inches, millimeters etc.). Favorable conditions means that the contrast is high, (e.g., black characters on a white background), the illumination levels are optimal, without glare, the operator has sufficient time to focus on the object to be able to focus and take in detail and there no movement of the object. For less favorable conditions, the following formula should be used.
10.1.3.2 Perception

alarm then occurs the operator is likely to perceive it as false and ignore it. (See section 7.1). Alarm rationalization shall be conducted to limit this. Choice of equipment as switch, push button shall follow the affordance principle.
10.1.3.4 Decision making
To improve the human decision-making process for the operator the following should be considered:
a. Design in support systems to aid the operator. E.g., eliminate the need for the operator to make a manual calculation and build it into the control system, reduce the use of favor of simple descriptions.
b. Use decision tools and aids, e.g., using an expert system
together information from a number of sources to calculate and predict future outcomes, rather than the operator needed to decide what information to look for.
c. Training and simulation. This is especially useful for abnormal situations that the operator will not normally experience.
