A technician is setting up a new workstation in an area where high static electricity is a concern. Which of the following is the BEST way to protect the equipment from electrostatic discharge?
Store the equipment in antistatic bags when not in use.
Place the equipment on an ESD mat that is grounded.
Wear a wrist strap without attaching it to a grounded surface.
Use non-conductive tools while working on the equipment.
Keep the equipment in an area with a high humidity level to prevent static build-up.
Grounding the equipment is the most effective way to protect sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Using a properly grounded ESD mat provides a path for static electricity to flow safely to ground instead of discharging through the electronic components.
