What precautions to be taken when working with static electricity?

well, it depends on what you are working with that involves static. For static electricity to form, there needs to be a circuit completed in some fashion, weather that be between 2 objects or between something and you, and you would need a way to prevent that current from traveling too you, thus, you must ground yourself. You can in effect ground yourself by touching something that does not conduct electricity. If your working with an already completed circuit, then just treat it as you would any electricity.
