As well as degrading the comfort and harmony of the workplace and causing undesirable distractions, electrostatic discharges can also cause damage to sensitive electronic equipment and in extreme cases pose a fire risk.

Radiansa Consulting can assess your working environment for the causes of electrical discharge phenomena, and propose efficient solutions to reduce or eliminate the problem. Our evaluation protocol of workplace electrostatic potentials includes measurements of:

Electrostatic potentials on worksurfaces and office furniture
Surface resistivity, particularly floors and worksurfaces
Relative humidity and ambient temperature

A study of static potentials and discharges in your workplace can also be combined with low frequency magnetic field measurements, and/or assessment and remediation of Lipoatrophia Semicircularis for a complete evaluation of the electromagnetic environment in your offices.
