Instrumentation alarms and shutdowns

The test procedure for complex interlocks should be developed with engineering help and, for consistency and compliance with OSHA 1910.119, should be documented in writing. Any proposed additions or deletions should be screened by a third party group or committee. An appropriate authorization path should be in place to assist in making changes in classified instrument alarms and shutdown setpoints. 

The primary safeguards for any facility is usually considered human observation, either physically at the plant or from instrumentation in a control room. API RP 14C provides typical process safeguards (instrumentation, alarms and shutdowns) usually employed in the petrochemical industries. 

It is easier to install level instruments, alarms, and shutdown systems.
