If you work in an industry that uses or relies on a large amount of machinery and equipment, where the risks associated with electrostatic discharge are higher than usual, then you should consider supplying your employees with anti-static ESD clothing along with other ESD products.
If your work clothing is manufactured from synthetic fibres, they could generate a large amount of static charge, which could potentially cause damage to any sensitive electronics.
Anti-Static ESD clothing is Electrostatic discharge safe clothing that is specifically designed to prevent static charges that pass from a person, or their clothing, into the surrounding area. Unlike normal clothing, which is made from materials which cannot protect against electrostatic discharge, anti-static ESD clothing is made from special materials that help to redirect any electrostatic discharge away from the worker and instead connect to the ground, protecting against the negative effects of getting shocked by a discharge and from passing in to sensitive electronic machinery. This type of clothing is worn whenever static damage is a concern and is common practice in a number of workplaces.
Anti-static ESD clothing helps to keep your employees safe, which is vital for any business, not just from a health and safety standpoint, but from a moral and profitability perspective too. If your employees feel safe and comfortably protected they will also be happier, which improves productivity in the workplace. Providing anti-static ESD clothing will be hugely beneficial in these regards.
Anti-static ESD clothing is designed to be both comfortable and safe for workers.
