The selection of an ESD floor covering begins with an evaluation of the activities to be performed in the space but doesn't end there. The selection of an effective ESD floor covering system for the controlled environments should always begin with a thorough evaluation of the intended use and possible future uses. Intended use should include the evaluation of the devices or processes that are most sensitive to ESD events, chemical resistance, and aesthetic requirements. Understanding the need for and importance of ESD compliant footwear is critical in the performance of the ESD flooring chosen. Always remember that personnel grounding requires effective ESD footwear that is appropriate to the application, properly worn, and in good repair. In addition, ESD awareness training is invaluable for increasing the effectiveness of any ESD mitigation system.
