Abbreviation used in an emergency management course for workers of the petroleum industry
Hi everybody.
In the comments on person’s performance in an emergency management course, I have the following:
“John made good use of the initial limited information and gained an accurate understanding of the incident. Process S/down & ESD carried out at IC's request.”
I understand that
IC = Instructor Coordinator, and
ESD = Emergency Services Department
But,
What does “S/down” stand for?
Many thanks in advance,
Manuel

Por cierto, podría ser que ESD fuese 'Emergency shutdown'?
Pensé en shutdown para la primera, pero entonces debería decir "S/down process" y no "process s/down"

shutdown
"Shutdown" is a possibility - he was handling an "incident" (something sent wrong?) and maybe the process had to be shut down. "Slowdown" is another possibility, but if I were too guess, I would go for "shutdown" in this context.
Note from asker:
| Thank you, Chris. I have used this option, but I’m going to choose Álvaro’s answer because he gave me the references that clarified this matter to me. |
Discussion
Now I have expanded/translated the phrase as “process shutdown and emergency shutdown carried out at the Instructor/Coordinator’s request”.
