Request for an ESD User Group

Hi

I just added ESD to the new "Safety" User Group.

I also added a link to the ESD User Group Signup page to your original post. It's open to anyone interested in or involved with negating electrostatic discharge (ESD) in manufacturing, design, safety, testing and compliance.

Thanks,
- Chris

Here is a list of all our user groups.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)Control is very vital requirement for Ammunition and Explosive manufacturing and filling factories and their storage buildings .This forms a mandatory safety requirement for such installations . Static electricity generated by movement of tools and components ,rubbing of clothing ,shoes with human body , movements in the working area are one of the major cause of explosions in these factories. ESD will damage electronic components while manufacturing ,servicing and operating ,if proper electrostatic discharge is not effected. Use of Conductive flooring,clothing ,shoes and proper independent static earthing systems are essential for safety reasons. ESD is a subject which does not get proper attention even though it cause loss and damage .Adequate training should be given to personnel working these areas. Regular workshops should be organised to managerial staff to make them aware about ESD control.

We have mandatory awareness training every two years. Perfect score on exam required to get updated cert badge.

Been through a lot of ESD training for many yrs working Aerospace and at the Cape in Fl. for launch Ops. Tho have seen places that Cert for this still do different???
