ABB's jargon bust

Published: 1-Apr-2005


ABB has launched the ABB Safety Jargon Buster in its campaign to cut through industry jargon. The tool provides a guide through the minefield of technical terms surrounding industrial process safety, including those relating to the IEC61508 and IEC 61511 standards.

Using straightforward English, the Jargon Buster offers a glossary for those responsible for purchasing, handling or designing safety equipment and systems for process applications. Through hyperlinks, the user can quickly find any definition, while links within each article lead to further definitions on related topics.

Available as a PDF, the guide is free.
