What will happen if the heel is exposed when wearing anti-static shoes?
Anti-static shoes are a standard part of anti-static clothing and are usually worn by workers in the production workshops of electronics factories. They are mainly used in places where static electricity may cause combustion, explosions and other hazards caused by static electricity in the human body.
The effect of anti-static shoes cannot be ignored, but some workers do not take it seriously. They always do not lift the anti-static shoes to save trouble, leaving the heels exposed. Can this still play an anti-static role? The answer is of course no.
Anti-static shoes are only effective if they are worn correctly and are connected to a conductive floor. If you wear anti-static shoes correctly and are closely connected to the ESD floor, the charge on your body will quickly leak into the ground, achieving the anti-static effect. If you are wearing anti-static shoes but your heels are exposed, it means that your feet are not connected to the anti-static shoes at all, let alone the conductive floor. Where can there be electrostatic discharge? It has no anti-static effect at all.
Therefore, companies must remind employees of this when conducting onboarding training for employees. Don’t do whatever they want when wearing anti-static shoes, anti-static clothing and other anti-static equipment because of their own convenience. The stakes must be clearly stated so that everyone can They all have the concept of self-protection. Only in this way can various unfavorable factors in production be eliminated.
