Authors
Douglas H. Rothenberg, an authority in industrial control room management, presents the ‘Control Room Operator’s Handbook’, a guide that sets a benchmark for improving safety and reliability in industrial operations. This tool serves as a ready reference for operators, supervisors, and managers across various sectors, including pulp & paper, petrochemicals, mining, and power generation.
In collaboration with technical writer Beverley B. Kuch, Rothenberg offers an integrated approach to operational management. Drawing from their extensive experience, they provide a unified tool set that relies on the basics of enterprise requirements, covering operational options and best practices. The handbook stands as a firm foundation for in-house operator training.
Extraordinary Handbook
Unique to this guide is the concept of ‘weak signals’. These are early indicators of potential issues that, if caught and addressed, can prevent larger problems from occurring. Recognizing and acting on weak signals requires situation awareness and situation management – skills the handbook aims to cultivate.
What sets this handbook apart are the included clue cards. These cards reiterate procedures presented in the guide for quick access during shift activities or training. They serve as a handy tool, reinforcing the key concepts and procedures.
The ‘Control Room Operator’s Handbook’ goes beyond traditional training, focusing on situation awareness and situation management. It empowers control room operators to enhance safety and reliability in their daily operations. A must-have resource, it will be compared against by subsequent entries into this market.
