3M Hosts ESD Training on Static Control in Austin, Texas
3M offers an in-depth training program on static control at the 3M Austin Center. The two-day course is designed for people responsible for
implementing or managing a company’s ESD program.
The course content, designed for the beginner to intermediate level, covers such topics as:
• What are the foundations of ESD? This includes terminology, basic electricity and its relationship to ESD, basic ESD controls and how parts fail.
• How can static electricity be controlled?
• How do I conduct a plant survey or audit?
• What are appropriate surfacing and grounding materials and techniques?
• How and why do I use static-protective packaging materials?
• What is ionization, how do I properly test ionizers, and how do I use ionization effectively?
• What about field service? Do my customers or I need it?
• What do I need to know about testing and measuring — frequency of tests, methods, equipment, interpretation of results and use of appropriate test techniques?
• How and when do I use continuous wrist strap and/or work station monitoring — installation, operation and attributes?
• How do I know if I have a static problem?

S20.20 Standard Requires Training
The ANSI/ESD S20.20 truly breaks new ground in the standardization
of static control for electronics, but are you aware that it contains a
requirement for training?
Training is so fundamental to an effective program of static control that
it has been made a requirement under the ANSI/ESD S20.20 standard.
When your employees understand how electrostatic discharge occurs,
the extent of its damage, and how to protect against it, they will be more
likely to use static protection equipment properly and abide by static
control procedures. They will better understand their role in producing
high quality, profitable products.
If training has been nonexistent or scattered in your organization, you
will need to make it a high priority in adopting S20.20. You must first
decide on a schedule for training. Will it be once a year, twice a year,
or more often? Ideally, the schedule will correspond to the needs of
your organization. Perhaps you expect to hire large numbers of new
employees. Or, maybe you must train employees in rapidly changing
technologies and manufacturing methods. The schedule should reflect
those needs.
Who is trained and on what? Some organizations require that all
employees, from the general manager to the clean-up crew, take the
same training. Other organizations develop a high level of training for
assemblers, a medium level for inventory and shipping clerks, and a
basic level of training for office staff and others who rarely enter the
manufacturing area.

How will you provide the training? Will you use live instructors, video tapes,
individualized computer-based training programs, or a combination of
these methods? From experience, 3M has found that a live instructor is
the most effective because the training is interactive. The instructor can
answer questions and tailor the training to the trainees’ education and
experience. The video approach is the least effective because it requires
no interaction, only passive watching and listening.
How will you verify trainees’ understanding of static control? You can
accomplish this through a written test, on-the-job observation, computer-
based testing or a personal interview. 3M’s preference would be for the
class to verbally review all the critical points of training as the means
to check their retention, and follow that with on-the-job observation to
ensure they are practicing proper static control procedures.
Finally, S20.20 training should include a mechanism for updating your
employees in response to changes in product sensitivity, introduction
of new products, upgrades in manufacturing techniques, and other
changes. Ideally, you will provide training with every change so
employees can adjust accordingly.
