Operator Earthing - Are you doing it correctly?

Thank you guys for such an awesome response to my last blog post on Partial Inerting. It was made clear from the responses, that it is rather an unexplored topic in many parts of the world. Keep sharing your thoughts and keep sharing the blog with your colleagues, friends and students.

For today's blog post, I am picking up a basic concept of OPERATOR GROUNDING and what is the correct way to actually do it. There are many industries who provide Safety Shoes (maybe antistatic/ static dissipative) to their employees working on the shop floor, however, a substantial misconception regarding grounding practices exist in the industries that "If I have provided my operator dissipative shoes he has been grounded adequately." Also, there are many who purchase shoes with higher resistance to the ground then what is recommended by the standards.
