Personal Grounding is a Crucial Part of Safeguarding Static-Sensitive Electronic Devices in Production Areas

Personnel grounding is important because people are one of the greatest sources of static electricity. As we move about, this contact and separation with objects generates static charge on our person as well as the object itself. This is called Tribocharging. A good example of Tribocharging involves walking across carpet and getting shocked when touching a door knob. With that being said - grounding your personnel is essential to combating static damage.
