Personal Wrist-Band Earthing

Earthing (grounding) by means of a wrist band or strap is the most reliable method of diverting electrostatic charges away from working personnel, and should therefore be used wherever possible, particularly if the person concerned is working while seated. The wrist band earthing (grounding) device consists of a bracelet closely attached to the wrist and a spiral earthing (grounding) cable connecting it to the earthing (grounding) contact point. This system must include a quick-release device so that the wrist can be released in the event of danger.
