Just as a side question, I guess, you know, ISA covers certain process industries, but has there been any alignment or, you know, commonality established between, you know, different industries of their safety standards, you know, between like oil and gas or pharma or water, wastewater? Have any of those, like, come to an understanding?

Christopher HudsonGUEST
I... realistically the the way that every area approaches an alarm philosophy usually is about the same right because when you're looking at a specific action right you're looking at something that an operator needs to respond to all processes you know assess that alarm condition based on the same three things what's the risk of uh human damage what's the risk of equipment damage and what's the risk of environmental damage Right.

Christopher HudsonGUEST
We don't want a situation where a high level in a tank is going to cause an explosion, right? Obviously, that's the worst case scenario.

Christopher HudsonGUEST
But we also don't want a situation where if this alarm is not responded to, this pump breaks and it's $2.5 million to replace.

Christopher HudsonGUEST
You know what I mean? So in terms of interpreting those standards, most industries are pretty aligned for understanding how to rationalize and how to apply these alarm systems.

Christopher HudsonGUEST
That doesn't mean they all do with consistency, right? A lot of times what you'll see is companies will...

Jim MontagueHOST
But, you know, so then to help them out or to help them help each other out, what are non actionable alarms? And, you know, maybe what are some of the best overall methods for reducing those?
