INTERNATIONAL SAFETY GUIDE FOR OIL TANKERS AND TERMINALS

3.3.7 Clothing and Footwear
---ใช้เพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น---
People who are insulated from earth by their footwear or the surface on which
they are standing can become electrostatically charged. This charge can arise
from physical separation of insulating materials caused, for instance, by
walking on a very dry insulating surface (separation between the soles of the
their provision to tankers should be satisfied that, if they are to be used inิชย์นาวี
shoes and the surface) or by removing a garment.
Experience over a very long period indicates that electrostatic discharges
caused by clothing and footwear do not, however, present a significant hazard
in the oil industry. This is especially true in a marine environment where
surfaces rapidly become contaminated by deposits of salt and moisture that
reduce electrical resistances, particularly at high humidity.

3.3.8 Synthetic Materials

An increasing number of items manufactured from synthetic materials are
being offered for use on board ships. It is important that those responsible for

flammable atmospheres, they will not introduce electrostatic hazards.
