We'd guess that you want the ESD ground at the same point as the building ground for personnel safety reasons. Injured employees and OSHA inspector should be enough to convice the old timers [in most plants].

Well, I answered my own question. Here it is for everyone's benefit. The glasses must meet the ANSI Z87.1 standard for safety. So basically, if they are not stamped with Z87.+, then they are not compliant.

So, if someone wears prescription glasses, do you purchase ANSI Z87.1 compliant prescription glasses for them?

At the OSHA training institute, our instructor stuck an electric drill in a bucket of water to demonstrate what proper grounding will do. Personally I wasn't going to try it. All our fluxes are no-clean, and are IPA based. Granted we used aqueous

I agree whole heartedly. Unfortunately in the different industries I've worked (garment, appliance, aerospace, and now electronics) this is a common issue. These procedures are in place for product reliability as well as safety. I trained at the
