Abstract
One of the major requirements for safe handling of IC¿s is the grounding of personnel. The paper presents data about the effectiveness of using the floor/footwear system as primary means of grounding personnel in standing and sitting operation. It also discusses whether there is a contradiction with International Standards like IEC 61340-5-1 or ANSI/ESD S20.20.
