The same goes for heel straps, if they are used. If smocks or other ESDP outer clothing are required by the ESD control plan, the auditor must verify that that they are worn properly and checked regularly. Smocks help to minimize problems with street clothing and possibly hair. Proper donning of a smock includes securing the smock at the opening and covering of the sleeves. A further precaution is to ground the smock either connecting it to a grounded wrist strap or ground cord at the hip connection to ground when in a stationary position.
Smocks also look neat, clean and increase the perception of professionalism and uniformity.
The floors in an ESDP area must be checked for surface resistance, especially in the high-traffic areas. Especially check for high traffic areas. Each workbench must be evaluated for ESD prevention, which involves removal of non-essential insulators, such as coffee cups, radios, food wrappers, etc. If a sticker is missing, it denotes that an infraction had occurred and not to use the bench. The positioning of equipment that generates static must be monitored carefully in relation to ESD-sensitive devices.
