precautions are not observed. Where handling is unavoidable, adequate earthing
precautions should be taken. E.g. an earthed wrist strap.
Minimise the handling of static sensitive PCB devices. Also always transport “loose” PCB’s
in containers, manufactured with ESD protective properties. Also avoid placing static
sensitive devices on plastic surfaces.
