Static Electricity Safety
- Worksite Safety
Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to
- Define static electricity
- Detail how static electricity generates, accumulates, and discharges
- List the potential hazards of static electricity
- Recall techniques for controlling electrostatic hazards in liquids and powders
- List methods to prevent static electricity from accumulating on conductive and nonconductive materials
- Recognize when bonding and grounding methods can be used
- Overview
While static electricity is mostly harmless, it can be hazardous in some environments where flammable or combustible mixtures are present. To reduce electrostatic hazards, it is important to understand how static electricity generates, accumulates, and discharges. This interactive course presents techniques for preventing static electricity from forming or accumulating to dangerous levels. Some common applications for conductive equipment such as bonding and grounding, as well as methods for handling nonconductive equipment and materials will also be discussed.
