Our policy is that ESD smocks are optional during the summer months.  Keep
in mind that some companies don't use smocks at all!

        Subject:        [TN] ESD smocks in high temperature and humidity
level

        Hi techneters
         
        Would it be considered risky to permit shop floor employees to work
without
        ESD smocks if the humidity level is around 50%?
         
        Problem is that the temperature is very high (35 dec celcius) and
working with
        the smock is a real torture.
         
        I hesitate before giving the my opinion on this.  I know that the
higher the humidity 
        the lower the risk of having ESD problems.  But is 50% enough???
