Dissipative Floor Mats

When walking, people “tribocharge”, building up static charges on their bodies. The body’s static charge can safely be drained to ground by wearing conductive shoes or a shoe grounder on each shoe when walking on a conductive floor or floor mat; this includes vinyl, rubber, and carpets/ mats.

A bench mat needs to be used in conjunction with grounding devices to provide a continuous path to ground and remove static build-up before it discharges. The following devices are all excellent grounding methods: wristbands, grounding cords, and shoe grounders (with the option of heel grounders or removable, conductive insoles and outsoles).
