The Importance of ESD Training for Warehouse and Dispatch Staff
ESD training: essential for every person who touches electronic components.
Why ESD training matters
Quick answer
All staff who handle electronic components must understand ESD risks and prevention. The human body generates thousands of volts of static that damages components at just 20 volts. Training covers: what ESD is, why it matters, grounding procedures, correct use of anti-static packaging, and what never to do. Training takes 30-60 minutes and should be refreshed annually. The cost of training is negligible compared to the cost of one ESD damage incident.
