Implementing Safety Measures and Procedures
ESD Precautions and Procedures

ESD Protection Devices

 
   
ESD Static Mats: Is also made of an insulated material and has two wires with alligator clips, one at the end of each wire. Spread the mat on a flat surface near the ground. Attach one clip to the ground and the other to the computer. This ensures that the charge is transferred from the computer to the ground.
Antistatic Sprays: Are used on carpets to reduce ESD. Thus, they prevent the damage to the computer components.
 
Apart from using these ESD protection devices, you can take the following precautions to prevent damage posed by ESD to computer components:
Do not plug in or remove devices when the power is on
Store PC cards, chips, and other PC components in appropriate anti-static containers such as envelopes and bags.
Have a reliable ground point so that you can connect your body to it with a wrist strap.
Keep the carpets dust-free.
Wear shoes with rubber soles to get rid of static charge.
Do not wear clothes made of synthetic material because it is a conductor of charge.
Do not wear jewelry because metals are conductors of electricity.
Maintain the relative humidity at around 50 percent.
