ESD Flooring

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can occur on company flooring because of contact, friction, or different materials. On your company flooring, ESD can be caused by the friction while the employees are walking or when transportation such as a forklift is used. During activities, the human body or machinery accumulates charges, termed electrostatic charges. This is when charges caused by friction and the opposite charges accumulated in the employees bodies can collide, resulting in a heavy spark discharge. This could easily damage sensitive machinery and is detrimental to the well being of the employees.
