Static Electricity
Static Electricity is a build up of electric charge on the surface of material. The static charges remain on the material until they either bleed off to ground or are quickly neutralized by a discharge. Static discharge can cause explosions, fire, damage to electronics and hurt people. This course covers:
• Causes of static electricity
• Evaluating static electricity hazards in the workplace
• Techniques to detect and measure static hazards
• Grounding Bonding
• Guidelines for protecting people and equipment from electro static discharge
