Personnel footwear and flooring can form part of an electrostatic control system in facilities where workers move between workstations while handling sensitive products. Depending on the site's design, compatible footwear and flooring help control the accumulation and movement of electrical charge as people walk. However, their effectiveness depends on the combined characteristics of the footwear, floor surface, contact conditions, and grounding arrangements. SISCO offers a wrist strap and footwear tester, including SISCO wrist strap and footwear tester, designed to check compatible wrist strap and footwear systems. Such equipment can support inspection procedures at entrances to designated electrostatic protected areas, where employees may need to verify their protective arrangements before starting work. SISCO ESD tester's displayed results can help personnel determine whether the tested equipment meets the configured acceptance criteria. This is especially useful in electronics assembly facilities, component storage areas, and production environments that use footwear-based personnel grounding. A consistent testing procedure also helps supervisors identify recurring problems, such as worn footwear, contaminated contact surfaces, or equipment that requires further inspection. It is important to recognize that testing footwear alone does not establish the performance of an entire flooring system. Separate floor resistance or person-footwear-floor system testing may be required under the applicable standard and facility procedure. By incorporating suitable personnel grounding checks into daily operations, organizations can improve the consistency of their electrostatic control practices and maintain better oversight of the protective equipment used throughout their facilities.
