G'morning Lou,

Coats act as a barrier. An open coat is like having a fence that's always
wide open. It blocks some of the stuff you don't want but most material can
easily go around. People rarely wear static dissipative garments under their
coats { :-) }, static and loose cloth fibres may be a definite problem for
your product. You are doing the right thing to protect the equipment. But
you will need a bit more luck dealing with the employees.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [TN] Wearing of static-dissipative coats

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.
