Best Answer

ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge. You should avoid the possibility of static building up when working with PC components by ensuring that you are grounded at all times. You can do this by using a special anti-static wristband, which is available very cheaply. Alternatively, touch the chassis of your PC case often, or hold the chassis with one hand while touching any sensitive components.

1. Remove static electricity generation sources (tape, paper, etc.) Wear clothing that minimizes the generation of static electricity.

2. Maintain a relative humidity level that is high enough to inhibit, or at least reduce, the generation of static electricity.

3. Properly bond/ground you, workspace and equipment keeping ESD and personnel safety in mind.

When is esd protective area signs not requried at the entrance to esd control work area?

For not needing at least one sign at the entrance of an ESD protected area, the answer likely is never. The issue is how do all people, including visitors, know that it is an EPA, and that special precautions are required including grounding all conductors including people. The ESD Association document specifying requirements for ESD control programs is ANSI/ESD S20.20. It says "Caution signs indicating the existence of the EPA shall be posted and clearly visible to personnel prior to entry to the EPA." [ANSI/ESD S20.20 section 8.3] There is also a 130 page ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20 to provide guidance. "Appropriate signs and markings must identify protected areas so that all people entering the area, including visitors, are aware that special precautions are needed. Packaging and containers that enter the protected area must be approved for use based on the expected movement within the protected area. Transportation of sensitive items between protected areas or to unknown or uncontrolled destinations may require higher levels of static protection." There is an example of an EPA Caution Sign per ESD TR20.20-2008 Figure 18 "Example of an EPA Caution Sign", the text is "Caution, ESD Protective Area, Use Electrostatic Discharge Protective Handling Procedures"

How does aviation deal with ESD?

An electrostatic-sensitive device (ESD) is any component that can be damaged by common static charges which build up on people, tools, and other non-conductors or semiconductors. Often an ESD-safe foam or ESD-safe bag are required for transporting such components.
