Precautions for using anti-static shoes
There are a few things you need to pay attention to when using anti-static shoes:
1. Cooperate with other protective equipment: Anti-static shoes usually need to be used together with other protective equipment such as anti-static clothing and gloves to achieve the best protection effect. 1
Environment and Condition Check: Before using anti-static shoes, the cleanliness and humidity of the work environment should be checked. The ground should be dry and clean, and the air humidity should be maintained between 40% and 60%. The level and presence of electrostatic fields should also be confirmed.
2. Correct wearing method: Avoid using socks that are too long or too short when wearing them, and remove the foam plastic film before wearing them. When using, the soles should be kept in good contact with the ground, the soles should not be covered with dirt, and should be kept dry. 12
3. Operating skills: When using anti-static shoes, specific operating procedures should be followed. For example, it is prohibited to use anti-static shoes near unproven instruments or objects, and ensure that both shoes are properly placed before walking.
4. Cleaning and maintenance: Anti-static shoes should be cleaned regularly to maintain their conductive properties. You can use warm water and soap when cleaning, but avoid using strong detergents and chemical solvents. After cleaning, dry them with a dry towel and place the shoes in a ventilated place to dry naturally.
5. Storage precautions: Anti-static shoes should be stored in a dry, ventilated, dust-proof environment and away from direct sunlight, and stored in a dust-proof bag or box.
6. Avoid inappropriate behavior: When using anti-static shoes, you should also avoid direct contact with static-sensitive equipment or prolonged activities in a dry environment to prevent the generation of static electricity.
7. Professional cleaning service: Anti-static shoes should be cleaned promptly after use. If necessary, they can be handed over to a professional purification and cleaning company.
8. Resistance testing: During use, the resistance of anti-static shoes should be tested regularly and adjusted or replaced according to the actual situation.
9. Supporting supplies: When using anti-static shoes, you should be equipped with corresponding supporting supplies, such as thin nylon socks or socks containing conductive fibers, as well as socks and insoles that are not suitable for insulating materials.
