Fundamental measures to protect against

static discharge

Make sure the grounding is good
Make sure all persons, workplaces and packaging are sufficiently grounded when
ESD components are being handled. In this manner, you avoid static discharge.
Avoid direct contact
You should only touch ESD components if this is unavoidable (for example,
during maintenance work). Hold the modules so that you touch neither pins
nor printed conductors. This prevents the discharge energy from reaching or
damaging sensitive devices.
Discharge your body before you start taking any measurements on a module.
Do so by touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring
instruments.
