ESD Wrist Strap and Footwear Test Log

A free printable ESD test log: each person's daily wrist strap and footwear result with the reading, the action on a fail, and weekly bench grounding checks.

First page of the ESD Wrist Strap and Footwear Test Log — Show that everyone at the bench tested their wrist strap and footwear before starting work. A failed strap only does harm if nobody notices and someone works on with it.

What this sheet is for

Show that everyone at the bench tested their wrist strap and footwear before starting work. A failed strap only does harm if nobody notices and someone works on with it.

Who it is for

Electronics repair benches, assembly lines, labs and anyone running an ESD-protected area with a wrist strap and footwear tester.

How to use it

  1. Write the pass bands for wrist straps and footwear at the top, with where they come from, and the tester's calibration date.
  2. Each person tests at the start of every shift and writes one line: strap result and reading, then each shoe.
  3. On a fail, write what was done, such as a new cord or strap, and the retest result.
  4. Once a week, tick the bench checks at the end and note anything that needed putting right.
  5. Have the area's owner look over repeat fails at the end of the month.

What is on the sheet

2 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: One line per person per test at an ESD-protected bench: the wrist strap and each shoe or heel grounder, pass or fail with the reading, and what was done about a fail. The bench's own weekly checks are at the end.

Your programme sets the pass band. No resistance limits are printed. The pass band for wrist straps and for footwear comes from your own static control programme and the tester's settings: write both in the boxes below, with where they come from. Anyone whose strap or footwear fails stays off the bench until a retest passes.

Write-on lines: Bench or area · Dates covered · Tester ID · Tester calibration due · Wrist strap pass band · Footwear pass band · Limits taken from

Questions

Why is no resistance range printed?

Because the acceptable band depends on your static control programme, the standard it follows and how your tester is set. A printed range could be the wrong one for your bench. Write yours at the top, with where it comes from, and judge every test against it.

Does a constant monitor replace the daily wrist strap test?

Some programmes allow continuous monitors in place of a daily test and others do not. Follow your own programme; if you use monitors, this sheet still suits the footwear tests and the weekly bench checks.
