From WISA President Leata Mullen, P.E.,  of Applied Control Engineering

Next meeting

Our May event is a popular presentation on alarm management by Nick Sands of DuPont., May 22nd at the Applied Control Engineering building in Newark. Ineffective alarm systems have often been cited as contributing factors following major process incidents. Nick is a knowledgeable presenter, with a solid discussion prepared on how to implement and maintain an alarm management system. His presentation includes a discussion of ISA standard 18.2, Management of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries, which Nick was actively involved in developing.

Also on the calendar, Wilmington ISAs annual picnic, June 26th. I am excited to announce that the picnic is moving back to the old DuPont site, though at a new pavilion. Join us for this fun event, including food, drink, horseshoes, and good company.

In August we will hold our annual WISA Blue Rocks baseball game event. Please watch the website for more info as the date gets closer.

You do not need to be an ISA member to attend any of our presentations or other events. We like to see new faces, so please extend an invitation to your colleagues!

Miracle of Silence:

Putting the Alarm Management

Lifecycle into Practice

Speaker: Nicholas Sands

DuPont Global Alarm Management Leader

The alarm management lifecycle from ANSI/ISA-18.2 is a nice framework, but it takes real work to put it into practice and deliver an improved alarm system. This presentation provides some lessons based on the global alarm management program at DuPont, including the steps to implementation.
