Patlon has filed a patent disclosure on this innovative system which may eliminate static shocks for all office works including those in call centers. Oddly enough, cotton clothes, which are normally very good from an electrostatic point of view, may charge more against a polyester upholstered chair than blended fabrics. One method of keeping the voltage due to clothing on a person down is to require the personnel to wear conductive lab coats. This in combination with the chairs would disallow the kind of potentials now experienced in the call centers. Several companies provide conductive lab coats for use in office environments.
Every call center has a unique situation for electrostatic problems.
A survey of the needs should be performed prior to any actions.
