Alarm fatigue isn't laziness.

It's your brain doing exactly what it evolved to do: filter out repeated stimuli that don't lead to consequences.

If 95% of your alarms are nuisance alarms, you've trained your operators to ignore all of them.

That's not a people problem. That's a design problem.

[CoreKognition @Corekognition]

Ironically, automation often INCREASES cognitive load on operators.

Fewer routine tasks means less engagement. Less engagement means worse situation awareness. Worse SA means slower response when the system hands control back during an emergency.

This is Bainbridge's "ironies of automation" -- documented in 1983. Still being ignored in 2026.

Leaders who “invite” feedback but punish candor kill psychological safety. People learn to stay quiet and weak signals stay buried. Ask for disconfirming views, thank dissenters, act on what you hear. How do you make it safe to speak up? #Leadership #PsychologicalSafety #SpeakUp

Technical integrity is meaningless without cognitive reliability. Your equipment can be perfect and your crew can still miss the signal. If this resonates, follow along. We post daily about the risks your compliance program cannot see.

Most offshore incidents don’t start at the point of failure. They start 2-3 shifts earlier, in a decision no one questioned. Here’s what I mean ↓

This is what cognitive reliability means: the capacity of a crew and its leaders to detect, interpret, and act on risk signals before they become events.

The most dangerous offshore failures don't announce themselves with alarms. They form in the confident certainty of experienced minds working within systems that have drifted toward danger #processsafety #oilandgas
