ESD Protected Area - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Designate zones where special precautions are taken to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage to sensitive electronic components and equipment. This sign alerts personnel that static electricity control measures, such as grounding mats, wrist straps, and antistatic clothing, must be used to protect delicate devices.

The main purpose of the sign is to reduce the risk of damage to electronic parts caused by static electricity, which can harm circuits, degrade performance, or cause device failure. By marking these areas clearly, it ensures that everyone entering understands the importance of following ESD safety procedures.

Commonly used in electronics manufacturing, assembly, repair facilities, and laboratories where static-sensitive components are handled. It supports compliance with industry standards and helps maintain product quality and reliability.

The sign should be placed at all entrances to ESD-sensitive work zones and inside the area as reminders. It should be highly visible and durable to remain effective in preventing accidental ESD events.
