There are some situations where electrostatic discharge (ESD) inside a room can cause problems.
ESD occurs when there is a sudden flow of electricity between two objects.
You can generate static electricity by rubbing certain materials together, or scraping a chair on the floor, or even walking across a floor if your shoes and the floor surface are made of particular materials.
If you haven't already completed these units, you should go to them now and read up on general techniques of installing resilient sheet products, along with the discussions on safety, adhesives and tools.
These lessons will provide you with background information that will help you with the assignment. This is designed to test your knowledge of the specific installation techniques that apply to resilient floor coverings used in ESD environments.
Have a look at the Assignment now to see what you'll need to do to complete it. You'll find the link in the menu bar.
The Just for fun exercise let's you check your knowledge of different ESD floors and their main uses.
