Critical Alarm Prioritization

What is Critical Alarm Prioritization?

Critical alarm prioritization ensures that the most important alarms are clearly distinguished and get the right response. We define priority levels (e.g. critical, high, medium, low), map them to your alarms, and support escalation and display so operators never miss a critical event.

We align prioritization with ISA 18.2 and EEMUA 191 so your alarm system supports safe, effective operator response.

What You Get

• Clear priority levels — Defined priorities (e.g. critical, high, medium, low) with consistent meaning across the plant.
• Critical alarms stand out — Display and escalation so critical alarms are visible and acted on first.
• ISA 18.2 / EEMUA 191 alignment — Prioritization and escalation aligned with industry standards.
• Integration with your SCADA/DCS — Priorities and escalation configured in your existing alarm system.
• Documentation and training — Priority definitions and response procedures so the system stays clear.

Who It’s For

Critical alarm prioritization is for operations and process safety teams who want to ensure that critical events get the right response. It supports sites that want to reduce operator error and improve safety.
