A Newson Gale White Paper, “You Don’t Have To Be a Rocket Scientist” is a concise engineering guide for the person responsible for protecting plant equipment and personnel from the hazards associated with the potential for static discharge. It provides a step-by-step audit procedure to evaluate the potential for a manufacturing or handling process to produce a static electric charge, how best to deal with it when flammable or combustible atmospheres also occur, and the content and scope of applicable engineering standards and guidelines.
