Static hazards in Biomed world

It has been my personal experience to learn some things the hard way, several times.
      All our work stations in our Biomed shop have anti static pads and wrist straps. Just a reminder that these pads and straps wear out pretty quickly. We replace our anti static gear every two years.
We all wear our wrist straps during any equipment disassembly . Up in patient areas, "Yes, our shop is in the basement"remember that static can damage equipment modules that are carried from place to place. Ask nursing staff to avoid touching the metal connections  Wikapedia says  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antistatic_wrist_strap
