Anti-static precautions
All electronic components and equipments are sensitive to
static electricity. Even small electrostatic discharges can
render components useless or severely shorten their
working life, therefore you should always take preventative
measures.
No work should be carried on any item unless it is in a
Special Handling Area (SHA) as defined in BS CECC
00015:Part 1. In general this involves:
* a common earth point
* an earthed bench or bench mat
* an earthed wrist strap
