ANSI/ESD S20.20 Paragraph 6.2.2.2 Personnel Grounding Guidance, "ESD protective flooring, used with approved footwear, may be used as an alternative to the wrist strap system for standing operations." Per ESD Handbook TR 20.20 paragraph 5.3.3.3.4 Proper Usage "ESD protective footwear is designed to reduce body charge levels by supplying a conductive path from the body to the floor material. Heel and Toe grounders should be worn on both feet to insure effective use."

The 20.20 standard does not spell it out - does any other ESD standard calls out for wearing TWO ESD heal straps. Some people insist on wearing just one. Any help would be appreciated.
