ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a swift discharge of electric current
between two objects with different charges and different numbers
of electrons. This exchange of electrons creates a large
electromagnetic field buildup, resulting in ESD.
 ESD BASICS
• Visually check that grounding cords are connected

• Wear wristband tightly and plug into port in the workbench

• Wear ESD Shoes

• Keep work area clean

• Use packaging with shielding properties to store or transport ESDS

outside the EPA
 Grounding & Personnel Safety
 Electrostatic charges or static electricity can be everywhere, however
conductors can be effectively grounded and charges removed to ground.

 ESD control is to ground all conductors, including people.

 However, while ESD control is important, it is of secondary importance to

employee safety.

 Personnel should not be grounded in situations where they could come into
contact with voltage over 250 volts AC.
