ESD Protection Devices

 
ESD is a natural phenomenon so it cannot be eliminated. But, you can use various ESD protection devices such as antistatic wrist strap, antistatic bags, ESD static mats, and antistatic sprays to prevent damage to PC components.

Antistatic Wrist Strap: Or ESD strap is made of an insulated material with a wire attached to it. Attach one end of the ESD strap to an earth ground that is the ground pin on an extension cord and wrap the other end around your wrist. The strap consists of a resistor that provides protection if the wire touches a charged object.
   
Antistatic Bags: Are designed to collect static charges on the outside of the bags rather than on the electronic components. These bags keep the dust and stray charges away from the computer components when they are being shipped or stored
