Static Dissipative Footwear Testing
Personnel footwear tester with visual and audio indication
Footwear tester overview
Through their own movement, people can generate large amounts of static charge if they are not grounded.
Static charge accumulation on plant personnel can be mitigated by issuing them with footwear that is designed to incorporate static dissipative properties in the structure of the footwear.
Employees handling flammable and combustible materials in hazardous environments need to ensure that their footwear is capable of fulfilling its design function of dissipating electrostatic charges.
The Sole-Mate™ is a user-friendly device that is designed
to test the condition of static dissipative footwear prior
to entering a safety-critical hazardous location exposed to
potentially ignitable atmospheres
