You don't need ESD protection if you don't care about failed boards.
Failure can occur in the factory due to ESD or the ESD can damage the
part so it will fail in the field.
The address below is for an ESD primer. There is a EOS/ESD symposium
in Santa Clara, California Sept 21-25, 1997 call (315)339-6937

Hi! I am wondering if anyone could advise me whether to use ESD ground or
Electrical ground for my production line. At this moment we do not have a
ESD ground but we are thinking of building one. Is this advisable?
