>>
>>Hello Technet,
>>
>>We've recently received some complaints from a customer who is not happy
>>with
>>the fact that our operators don't wear wrist wraps during seated operations
>>like handsoldering and inspection. Our factory relies on  grounding through
>>the (conductive) chairs, ESD-shoes, conductive floor and ESD-workbenches,
>>but
>>the chairs are tested only once per year, which is obviously less frequent
>>then one would test wrist wraps.
>>Is the customers concern justified, and should we introduce wrist wraps ?
