ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) safety
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) safety involves preventing the sudden flow of static electricity that can damage sensitive electronic components. To minimize risk, static-sensitive items are stored in anti-static containers, and workers wear grounding straps that safely discharge any static buildup. It's important to handle electronic parts by edges, avoid wearing static-generating clothing, and work on anti-static mats. Proper ESD precautions help ensure devices are not damaged during manufacturing, repair, or handling, maintaining their functionality and longevity. Essentially, ESD safety measures create a controlled environment that prevents static electricity from harming electronic components.
