4.1.6 Grounding Equipment
Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment:
Wrist Straps are flexible straps with a minimum of one megohm +/- 10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against the skin. On grounded mats with more
Heelstraps/Toestraps/Bootstraps can be used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use them on both feet with a minimum of
