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.

What the industries are saying
  • NATURAL GAS. It sums up and formalizes a lot of concerns that we discuss and teach our controllers. Good discussion of policies and procedures and differentiates between the two.
  • REFINING. Younger operators can get a lot from reading it. Experienced operators would appreciate it as a reference. Liked the module concept for dividing and organizing the material.
  • POWER. Doug and Beverly did an amazing job assembling all kinds of data and knowledge for this book. I see it as a great tool for reference.
