There is the expense of having to buy one for everybody. If it is a large company that would cost a lot of money to have them for everyone and extra in case one needs to be replaced soon.

When would you not want to wear an ESD ground wrist strap?
A: When there is work to be done on sensitive assemblies or there is known hi voltage differential from a person to the circuits
How do you use an ESD wrist strap with a laptop?
Just wrap one end around your wrist and then clamp the other end to any metal part of the laptop. Same as a desktop just a little tighter.
Should you wear ESD wrist strap when working on power supply DC output?
Yes. You should wear one whenever you work inside a computer.
What is ucstat wrist bands for it has a cord hooked to it?
That is an anti-static wrist strap used by electronics technicians to guard against ESD (electro static discharge) when working on sensitive printed circuit boards and other electronics. The strap connects to a work mat which is in turn connected to earth ground.
What can you use if you don't have a ESD wrist strap?
You can use a piece of ordinary wire or just leave one hand always touching the metalic ground of the device you're about to insert or remove circuits into or from.
Which two tools can a PC support technician use when taking apart a computer to best protect computer components against ESD?
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.
What can be used to prevents ESd?
Best is to use a grounding mat and an esd strap. Be sure to discharge any static before reaching in to your computer.
What should you do in an environment that promots static electricity?
you should use an ESD mat in conjunction with an ESD strap touch the metal case of the power supply that is plugged into a properly grounded outlet
What is the purpose of wearing an antistatic wrist strap?
The human body naturally accumulates static electricity - through friction with the man-made fibres we wear. An anti-static wrist strap is connected to just the earth circuit in the household mains supply - this sends any build up of static down to earth - preventing it getting to the computer. Many computer circuits are so delicate that a tiny amount of static is enough either to wipe a computer chip - or even damage the circuitry within the chip itself !
Why should wear an ESD wrist trap when i am working on monitor of a computer i am curious?
static can kill almost any electronic device.
What is the minimum level of elecrostatic discharge that a person can normally feel?
what is the minimum level of elecrostatic discharge that a person can normally feel? Per ESD Association ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20 section 5.3.2.1 "Static electricity is a natural phenomenon that occurs in all climates and at all levels of relative humidity year round. Most people cannot feel an electrostatic discharge unless the static voltage is greater than 2000 volts. However, some electronic circuitry can be damaged by ESD that is less than 2000 volts. The damage can be done without people having any sensation of the ESD event. When a wrist strap is worn properly and connected to ground, the person wearing it will stay near ground potential."
What is a wrist grounding strap?
A wrist grounding strap is used to prevent electrostatic discharge when handling computer components. Just like a shock when walking on carpet can carry several thousand volts, it destroys computer components. In more detail, it is a wire leading from a technician's body (a wrist band with metal contact to the skin) to earth ground, with a high (1 megohm) resistance in it. This slowly discharges any static electricity that is built up on the body, to avoid discharging it into an electronic component. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) mat with similar connection to ground is also used to keep the electronic components at earth ground potential.
