I would suggest not wearing one, because the CRT uses very high voltages which could potentially remain while you are servicing it. Grounding yourself will put you at a greater risk of serious shock. The parts in a CRT are generally not as likely to be static sensitive as many other electronic devices, so the need for a grounding strap is not as great. Also, before working with a CRT, do some research into other precautions you should take to avoid electric shock.

What is Copper Grounding Strap?
It is a device that is used to ground vibrating machinery to the ground wire of the device's feeder wire. The strap has extra flexibility that will take the bending and flexing from the machine to the ground terminal. If a wire is used, most times it will stress fracture and break due to the vibration, leaving the device ungrounded.

Why is important that you do not wear the anti-static grounding strap when working inside the monitor?
The monitor hold 20,000 or more volts (depending on the monitor size and components). Voltage can still be present after turning off the power. Most technicians who work on monitors have special training in working on high-voltage equipment. If you must remove the monitor case to work inside a monitor, safety rules include the following: (1) do not wear the antistatic wrist strap; (2) unplug the AC cord from the monitor or wall outlet; (3) do not use regular test equipment to measure the monitor's high voltages.
What computer components should you not touch while wearing antistatic wrist strap?
I'm not aware of any component you cannot touch. As long as the power is off and you are grounded properly. You would have to touch any component part in order to replace or upgrade it. When using a Antistatic wrist strap you should always male sure it makes contact your skin properly, if the strap has a crocodile clip at the end make sure it is attached to a suitable grounding point. You can clip it to the PC chassis but make sure the power is off at the wall socket but the plug is left inserted, if you unplug the PC completely there is no grounding. Saying all this grounding yourself is a bit over rated. I rarely use a grounding wrist strap and have never had an incident.
When should a technician avoid wearing an antistatic wrist strap?
A technician should avoid wearing an antistatic wrist strap when working on equipment that is powered on, as the strap can create a grounding path that might short out components or cause electrical shocks. Additionally, if the technician is working in a highly sensitive environment where static discharge could interfere with the operation of delicate devices, it might be prudent to remove the strap. Lastly, if the technician is in a non-static-sensitive environment, the strap may be unnecessary.
