Yes, you are doing the right thing.  We have similar smocks and we require
the top 3 snaps (below the collar) to be secured when in the production
area.  It's a general discipline thing that has never been a problem.  Our
only difficulty is to get operators to remove the smocks on break or when
eating.  Getting food remnants on the hardware is most embarrassing.

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.
