Wear a Wrist Strap
Always wear a conductive wrist strap connected to the mat and to ground except when working on energized equipment or when
discharging high voltage circuits. The strap must be snug enough to make good contact against bare skin.
Transport and Store PCBs Properly
Transport and store PCBs in anti-static racks or inside conductive bags. Label the package containing the PCBs as static-sensitive.
Keep Work Area Static-Free
Keep static-generating products, such as styrofoam cups or trays, away from the work area. Connect all electrical equipment, such
as soldering irons and test equipment, to ground with a three-prong plug.
Test Work Area Routinely
Test all the anti-static parts of the work area (mat, straps, cables) routinely. Keep a log of the test results.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
Remove the wrist strap when working on energized equipment or
when discharging high voltage circuits.
