TechNetters, in our PC assembly plant, we have people wearing static dissipative coats, long ones down to the knees.  Some do not snap them closed in front, and just let the coats hang or float.  I've told the people in my department to snap the coats closed, at least 2 of the 5 or 6 snaps.  Am I doing the right thing?  What's been your experience?  Thanks...Lou Hart  

Also, the floors are coated with static dissipative wax or, in some places, are static dissipative tile.  And the people are good about wearing wrist and heel straps.
