Talk:Alarm management

Quote: Poor alarm management is one of the leading causes of [...] major industrial incidents such as the one in Texas City.

So what happened in Texas City? Just asking. --85.183.198.78 (talk) 12:59, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to MASH is dumb. Somebody remove it, I have work to do.

The MASH reference does seem less than ideal. Better examples?

The history is not correct at all. Originally, panel boards were pneumatic, and alarming had to be done with 120V switches. The switches went to an alarm box, the most famous of which is the PanAlarm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Che90 (talk • contribs) 14:56, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge[edit]

Oppose proposed merge with Fault management - the telecommunications industry and comptuer networks ahve different problems than process industries; for example, a lot fewer explosions. --Wtshymanski (talk) 17:33, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this article is about "alarm systems", only a small, technical part of fault management, a much broader term. --(E-Kartoffel (talk) 10:25, 23 July 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Should article be using American or British/International English?[edit]

After several changes of "practise" to "practice" (and "best practise" is used in international English but, regardless of the spelling, the concept is a marketing term used by consultants attempting to sell their services and not an actual, codified subject), I changed the whole article to British English. Feel free to change it back. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:44, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
