ANSI/ESD S20.20 covers the requirements of an ESD control program.
The fundamental ESD control principles are:
- Ground all conductors, including personnel
- Insulators are high charging and cannot be grounded. Remove all non-essential insulators. Keep all process essential insulators at least 12" from ESDS or neutralize charges with ionizers
- Outside an EPA, ESDS are to be packaged in closed ESD shielding bags or covered containers having shielding properties
Grounding works great removing electrostatic charges. If opening a computer and handling circuit boards or electronics, the person should be grounded using a wrist strap connected to the ground of an AC electrical outlet or equipment ground. The ESD sensitive items should be placed on a grounded mat. A good tool to have is a Field Service Kit which includes a mat, a cord to ground the mat, and a wrist strap to ground the person.
If attachment to the ground of an AC electrical outlet is not possible, one can use equipotential bonding.
"When neither AC equipment [Equipment Grounding Conductor] or auxiliary grounds are available, an equipotential bonding system may need to be used. In this situation, all of the items in the system are bonded together so that the charge that resides on the elements will be shared equally and therefore there will be no potential difference between the items. Once this step has been completed it is safe to handle ESD sensitive parts without inducing damage. A real life example of this is often observed in office equipment field service operations. For safety reasons the service technician will often disconnect the AC power cord which detaches the equipment from ground. In order to safely install ESD sensitive products into the equipment, it is necessary to electrically connect or bond together the service technician, the equipment frame and the ESD sensitive product. Once bonded together an ESD event will NOT occur when the technician handles the product or installs it in the office equipment." [ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20-2008 section 5.1.3 Basic Grounding Requirements]
four esd protection recommendation for preventing esd are
1. Check the humidity. Relative humidity above 40% actually reduces the resistance of items that could generate a charge making it more difficult to generate an ESD. Note that very high humidity (80% or more) could cause other types of issues like corrosion.
2. Provide a common ground for your electronic components. Any charge that might build up would be discharged safely through that common ground. ESD grounding straps that connect to the computer chassis make great common grounds.
3. Wear protective devices like wrist straps, sole grounders, and/or conductive shoes. These items help to prevent electrostatic charge from building.
4. Keep your components in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install them. These bags are designed to prevent a charge from building.
5. Be sure to ground yourself to the computer case by contact ensuring your personal static charge has been discharged before you work on the inside of your computer.
These basic steps can help you avoid damage to your sensitive electronic components by preventing ESD.

if you are working on computers make sure that you don't get elecuited at all and make sure there is no lose wires from the computers at all. from Wendy Sells
Most electrical tools and equipment are used on live or energized system. If the tools and equipment are not well maintained, user may get electric shock and may even lead to fatal accident.
Under Tools and Equipment
The better quality tools all have 3 wires. You are looking at cheaper tools.

Transformers are used with tools that operate on less than 'mains' voltage.
Antistatic gloves, ground mats, and ground bracelet. Although the best way to protect your computer from ESD is by using a ground mat with Groug bracelet
Windows 98 has a very unreliable file system (FAT32) and does not actively protect against system files becoming damaged or deleted. If the system is still usable, you can restore them by going to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information, and selecting Tools > System File Checker. If the system is unbootable, you can reinstall Windows 98 without losing any data.

On the contrary, armouring is common on single-core conductors. Frequently, high-voltage underground cables are made up of three, individual, single-core, line conductors. These are most definitely armoured to protect them against penetration by the trench backfill and to protect workers who may accidentally hit them with tools.

A: it is not actually a tool but a ground wire connected to the earth ground which is connected to the chassis The best way to protect your system against ESD is to use a ground bracelet together with a ground mat. Consider a ground bracelet essential equipment when working on a computer.
