TechTalk: Beyond the Checklist: Practical “Tricks of the Trade” for ESD Control That Actually Stick

Tuesday, May 5th, 2026, 1pm Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Most ESD guidance is easy to agree with, and hard to execute efficiently on a real production floor. This Tech Talk moves beyond “cookie-cutter” program language and focuses on practical, field-tested tips that improve day-to-day ESD control without adding unnecessary cost or complexity.

Jay and John will share a set of “boots-on-the-ground” techniques gathered from experienced practitioners—covering how to remove redundant controls to improve ROI while maintaining protection, how to increase the speed and reliability of compliance measurements, and how to recognize and correct situations where an illusion of compliance exists (controls look right on paper, but the process is not actually protecting ESDS items).
