Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or
computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1
megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper
ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the
straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor
mats.
Use conductive field service tools.
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
