Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge
The following are grounding methods that you can use to prevent electrostatic discharge:
•
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
•
Take adequate personal grounding measures, including wearing antistatic clothing and static
dissipative shoes.
•
Use conductive field service tools.
•
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
