Grounding & Bonding Awareness 

This video is designed to encourage conversations about grounding & bonding hazards prior to starting a job. Please review the video and look for examples in your workplace where grounding & bonding controls may be missing or are not sufficient to prevent a static discharge.
Ask your group the following questions:
• Where could static electricity build up in your workplace due to movements of gases, liquids, or solids?
• Where in your workplace would a spark cause the most significant impact?
• How is the equipment you work with grounded & bonded?
• Have you confirmed that connections are free of rust, dirt, or paint to ensure electrical continuity?
• What grounding & bonding best practices have you seen at your workplace? Are you confident that these controls are adequate?
Special thank you to Kelt Exploration, Clean Harbors and Ryder Supply Chain Solutions for their support in the development of this video.
