YesNo
26. Are ESD floors and floors mats cleaned on a regular basis according to the specific traffic patterns and with proper ESD cleaning materials?
YesNo
27. Is there carpet in the EDS Controlled area?
YesNo
Additional Work Area ESD Concerns
28. Are chairs made of ESD fabric/materials or kept at least three feet from ESDS items. Non-ESD chairs can also be treated with ESD spray?
YesNo
29. Is the ESD Protected work area clear (at least three feet) of non-essential insulators such as coffee cups, food wrappers, regular bags, Styrofoam, plastic packaging and bottles and personal items?
YesNo

YesNo
Personal Grounding
Wrist Straps
36. Is a wrist strap, the most effective method of controlling static charges on the worker, being used for every technician?

YesNo
43. Are disposable wrist straps are available for visitors/customers?
YesNo
44. Do you provide a static control hand cream for technicians to improve the ground path between operator and wrist strap?
YesNo
Shoe/Heel Straps
45. Are standing and/or mobile personnel using two Foot Grounders in conjunction with ESD Protective Flooring?
YesNo
46. Are the straps correctly adjusted and tested on a regular basis?
YesNo
47. Is the maximum resistance to ground for a shoe/heel strap 10^8 ohms RTG?
YesNo
