Static Electricity

Static electricity is a natural, but potentially dangerous, by-product of common industrial processes. By understanding what it is, when to expect it and how to control it, you can help to prevent damage, fires and even explosions. Take this course to learn about static electricity, its causes, its potential consequences and what you can do to avoid it. This course is ideal for all employees who need information about static electricity and electrostatic discharge, or ESD.
