IOW’s should be classified into different levels, distinguished by risk, in order to set priorities on

notifications (including; alarms, alerts, and/or other notifications) and timing of actions to be
implemented when IOW’s are exceeded. In this RP, three primary levels of IOW’s: “critical”,
“standard”, and “informational”, are described based upon the predicted change in damage rate to
equipment during an exceedance and the ability of the operator to take corrective action

A critical IOW level is defined as one at which the operator must urgently return the process to a safe
condition
and, if exceeded, could result in one of the following in a fairly short timeframe:
— larger and/or quicker loss of containment,
— a catastrophic release of hydrocarbons or other hazardous fluids,
— emergency or rapid non-orderly shutdown,
— significant environmental risk,
— excessive financial risk, or
— other unacceptable risk.

4.2.2 A standard IOW level is defined as one that if exceeded over a specified period of time, requires
predetermined operator intervention or some other corrective action by a SME in order to bring the
process back
within the IOW limits in order to avoid one or more of the following to occur:
— eventual loss of containment,
— a release of hydrocarbons or hazardous fluids,
— unscheduled or non-orderly shutdown,
— a negative impact to the long term unit performance and its ability to meet turnaround run length, or
— unacceptable financial risk.
