RCP takes the guesswork out of Control Room Management (CRM) by offering services which allow operators to develop and/or incorporate the newest regulations an industry practices into their existing regulatory-required processes and procedures (49 CFR 195.402 and 192.605).
RCP’s Control Room Management Plans include procedures to address all elements of the CRM Rule including:
- Compliance Checklists
- Fatigue Management Guidelines
- Fatigue Mitigation Strategies
- Comprehensive Alarm Management Plans
- Shift Change Procedures that include all elements of API RP 1168
- Controller Responsibilities during and post Normal, Abnormal, and Emergency conditions
- Training materials designed to be incorporated into the Control Room environment without disrupting daily workflow.
RCP also performs gap analysis and updates of existing control room management procedures and practices to determine which, if any, elements are missing, in order to help prevent regulatory non-compliance. In addition, RCP will make recommendations for addressing missing or inadequate CRM Plan elements to “close the gap”, such as making sure the CRM Program Manual is integrated with the O&M Manual, Site Specific Procedures, Emergency Response Plans, and Operator Qualification (OQ) program, and in some cases revising those manuals order to be consistent with the CRM Program Manual.
