Grounding Workstations
To prevent static damage at the workstation, use the following precautions:
!
Cover the workstation with approved static-dissipative material. Provide a wrist
strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
!
Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.
!
Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or
PCB laminate. Handle them only at static-free workstations.
!
Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test
equipment.
!
Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly contact
dissipative surfaces.
!
Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly
aids and Styrofoam.
!
Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums, that are
conductive.
