How
to Establish an E.P.A.
1)
Boundaries. Clearly mark the
visible boundaries of your E.P.A.
for all to see.
2)
Clearing. Ban all static generating
materials from your E.P.A.
3)
Grounding. Properly ground all
exposed surfaces in your E.P.A.
4)
Personnel. Properly ground all
working personnel and visitors
entering your E.P.A.
5)
Component Handling. Protect
your components with static
shielding packaging outside
the E.P.A. and with anti-static
packaging inside the E.P.A.
6)
Training. Insure that all personnel
is properly trained in the basic
rules of ESD and appoint an
ESD coordinator who is responsible
for monitoring and enforcing
all aspects of static protection.
7)
Standards. Keep updated with
the existing and evolving domestic
and international ESD standards
(EOS/ESD, IEC, NFPA, ASTM, etc).
