In many industries, electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses the risk of contaminating equipment, products, and environments. Additionally, electrostatic sensitive devices, such as computer cards, laser diodes, high-precision resistors, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) may be rendered useless when exposed to electrostatic discharge. Thus, draining your company’s resources and assets.
Although we cannot completely eliminate the source of ESD, it is with the help of BootieButler products that we can limit the ways in which it’s created. In order to mitigate the effects of ESD, employers can implement BootieButler’s ESD shoe covers, also referred to as conductive strip shoe covers.
Controlling electrostatic discharge can ensure safe and productive workflows, longer life spans for devices, and better budget management. Although some employees may look at shoe covers as a nuisance, it is a necessary compliance. Start by grounding employees with ESD shoe covers, even when the floors are properly grounded. You can never have too many grounding methods and it’s better to be safe than sorry, right? This will dissipate any static charges created when walking. Although polyurethane shoe covers might be fitting for industries such as food processing and healthcare, a conductive strip must be included on a conductive strip shoe cover to provide ESD grounding.
When choosing ESD shoe covers to meet your company’s needs, BootieButler’s KBNS40-600-ESD or KBNS28-750-ESD is the perfect fit for you. Some features of our ESD shoe covers include:
