    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Identifies the nature and source and gives advice for dealing with the electrostatic hazard in situations such as the handling of powders, liquids, sprays, gases, electro-explosive devices and explosives. Recommends precautions for avoiding the static electricity problems (this standard describes the problems) that can occur with personnel and their clothing.
