What does the training course offer?

The training focuses on the causes of static generation, the effects of static discharge, and the materials and methods necessary for prevention and protection. The course content will reflect the facilities and current practice.

Understanding the phenomenon is enhanced through practical demonstrations and audience participation, allowing full engagement for the individual as a way of helping them to learn. Bondline provide various training course options so you can decide which one suits your needs best. Courses can be conducted in a small group or presented on a ‘one-to-one’ ‘train-the-trainer’ basis. For any questions regarding ESD that you may have, our experienced trainers will be happy to answer them during the training course. For any immediate questions about the training course itself, we’d love to have a chat with you to discuss these through.

What the training will cover:

• Examples of static damage, what components are susceptible to damage and which are not.
• How static is generated, and how you can prevent it in the workplace.
• Materials and procedures that you would use in the workplace to stop static damage would be wrist bands, coats, mats, boxes and the differences between all the “E.S.D” bags.
• We will cover why you need to ensure your companies’ product doesn’t go to your customer with static damage.
• Demonstrations can be carried out to show operators how much voltage is generated by themselves and everyday types of packaging. This would include all aspects of setting up E.S.D areas within the workplace, and the monitoring of the work procedures.
• We can advise you on the testing and calibration of cords/mats/desk tops/floors and all other relevant equipment.
• We will discuss methods and show examples of training people to get the E.S.D message over.
• Finally we go through the BSEN 61340-5 specification and advise on its relevance to your companies’ work areas.
