Use this guide to mitigate ESD hazards and protect sensitive equipment in your facility.

ESD, electrostatic discharge, is a rapid transfer of static between two different objects. Although workers typically experience ESD as a small, harmless shock, ESD events do pose a threat in several industries. It's incredibly important for workers and visitors to be aware of ESD areas in your facility so ESD can be prevented.

In this comprehensive guide about electrostatic discharge, you'll learn:

• The two types of damage ESD can cause
• How ESD can become a safety hazard
• Which industries are most prone to ESD events
• Tools and products to help you reduce ESD
