| Is this correct?
Q. You are working on a server, installing a new piece of hardware. What precautions should you take to prevent ESD?
1Wear a Wool Shirt
2Maintain proper humidity levels
3Wear a grounded anti static wrist strap
4Use conductive furniture
The answer is all of the above in the for dummies test software)
I just cant see wool as an anti static practice.
Does anyone agree with this ? | |

| Static electricity is usually caused when certain materials are rubbed against each other, like wool on plastic or the soles of your shoes on the carpet.
Because wool cloth is a material that readily gives up electrons, it is used in many activities to produce an accumulation of negative charge on an otherwise neutral object
The high moisture content of wool reduces static electricity and the risk
of shocks.
The other three answers are correct. | |
