To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin. s Use heelstraps, toestraps, or bootstraps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats. s Use conductive field service tools. s Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
