• Cover the work surface 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 case or PCB laminate.
• Handle components only at static-free work areas.
• Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test equipment.
• Use static-safe fixtures when fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces.
• Keep work area free of non-conductive materials, like plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam.

Materials and equipment that are recommended for use in preventing static electricity include:
•
Anti-static tape, smocks, aprons, or sleeve protectors
• Conductive bins, foam, tabletop workstations with ground cord of one-/-10%
resistance, and other assembly or soldering aids
• Static-dissipative table or floor mats with hard tie to ground
• ESD field service kits
• Static awareness labels
• Wrist straps and footwear straps providing one-/-10% resistance
