Hi
I am junior mechanical engineer that has both electronics and mechanical parts. I recently had an issue with the person that looks after pick and place machines and pcb assembly area. They have ESD floor mats, esd table mats and everyone who work there have leg straps. To access the tool cupboard in the room I occasionally enter the room. I do not touch or go near any of those pcbs. Should I still wear a leg strap so that I am grounded.
I am just wondering if I don't wear leg straps will there be any problems. When I asked why? they were not able to give me a proper answer. Appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks,
V.
