4.5 Packaging and Transporting
Precautions
Use the following grounding precautions when packaging and 
transporting equipment:
■
To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe 
containers, such as tubes, bags, or boxes.
■
Protect all electrostatic-sensitive parts and assemblies with 
conductive or approved containers or packaging.
■
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until 
the parts arrive at static-free workstations.
■
Place items on a grounded surface before removing items 
from their containers.
■
Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive 
component or assembly.
■
Store reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies 
in protective packaging or nonconductive foam.
■
Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and 
roller bushings. Make sure that mechanized equipment used 
for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper 
materials are selected to avoid static charging. When 
grounding is not possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric 
charges.
