The
Electrostatic Discharge Control Training Program
|
|
|
| Over
the last few decades, the machines we use in industry and in our daily lives
have changed almost beyond recognition. The evolution of integrated circuits
and other electronic components has made technology far more reliable than
anyone 50 years ago could have imagined. But along with increased reliability
has come increased dependence. We need to know that these electronic components
will perform time after time in the critical situations in which we've entrusted
them.
Electrostatic discharge
(ESD) is an often-unnoticeable hazard to these electronic components.
Without even knowing it, we can be destroying the components we handle.
The danger is even greater because many times these failures don't occur
until days or weeks after the product was damaged -- when the components
are in use in products, and people are depending on them.
|
The
availability of a uniform and systematic training program in the face of
multiple business sites or work shifts is the key to effectively controlling
unnecessary damage from electrostatic discharge.
Created with the participation
of leading experts from Digital Equipment Corporation and AT&T, The
Electrostatic Discharge Control Training Program, is designed to meet
EOS/ESD Association standards for ESD control. The program covers most
manufacturing and service environments including clean rooms and high-voltage
hazard areas, and provides the essential elements of a comprehensive ESD
control training program.

| Like the CD-ROM and
interactive videodisc versions, the VHS videotape version of the Electrostatic
Discharge Control Training Program contains the same engaging dramatizations
of real-life scenarios with live action video and audio, high quality graphics
and animation. |
The accompanying
Student Workbook contains practice questions and exercises to test the learner's
understanding of the material presented throughout the course, as well as
additional reference material. |
| Also
available in CD-ROM and interactive videodisc format. |
| This
VHS videotape product is normally sold in NTSC format. Contact Moxie Media
for PAL format. |
