From prior experience, it has always a good practice to have the coats
snapped all the way. However, usually at the places I have worked at, it was
acceptable to have the top and bottom snaps opened. Anything else could
cause an ESD incident. Also, the snaps on the sleeves would be closed so
that no clothing would be exposed. Later on, we had sleeves that fitted
around one's wrist, minimizing this problem.
Concerning the ESD protective floor, its great that you have one. One thing
that you should be aware of is that these floors can be difficult to
maintain and keep clean. If you don't keep them clean, they will lose their
ability to protect the hardware. Just some food for thought.

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.
