Has it been established the surface is not safe?

If the granite is a problem, how about using some "stati-cide" type of spray.

Doesn't covering a surface plate defeat the purpose?

Are you insinuating that smocks are, in fact, not magical electrical portals to a land of electron hopscotch and ice cream?

The first thing that I would do is contact the smock manufacturer and ask them for advice on testing the smocks. ESD FROM A TO Z 2nd ed. (Kolyer) states that: smocks should have a resistivity of less than 10^12/sq and must not shed steel fibers.

Thanks for the help but I do have another question. First I guess that just the touching of the smock to the skin is anough to give the charge on the person a path to the smock. OK I can accept that if button up at the breast and sleeves. Now I kno

I had read something a long time ago about the effects of the Santa Anna winds on electro-static discharge. Does anyone know where I might be able to find information on this? Thanks, Nikki

Ken: Sprays like you suggest are hydroscopic soaps that should be avoided. If that was the choice, we'd rather go with Russ' ioniczer.

Correct. Remember, you need the charge to flow to earth from yourself, the heel strap/conductive shoes etc. facilitate this, otherwise you would stay charged no matter how good the floor was.
