• The seven habits of a highly effective ESD programme
• How to achieve, and assess compliance
• How to make ESD measurements
• How to implement a checks, test and audit program

Day 1. The seven habits of a highly effective ESD program
Day 1 focuses on why we need ESD prevention, and how to implement the seven habits of a highly effective ESD program. Live static electricity demonstrations illustrate the need for the ESD Program measures.
Session 1 & 2:

• Creating a highly effective ESD program.
• Why do we need ESD prevention?
• The seven habits of a highly effective ESD program.
• Discussion & Questions

Day 2. ESD measurements, assessment, checks and audit.
Day 2 focuses on aspects of assessment, checks and audit of the ESD program and ESD measurements. An opportunity will be provided for delegates to try for themselves some of the important test methods.

• Session 3: ESD program measurements and test methods
• Session 4: Assessing the ESD programme with the checks and tests and auditing.
  The session illustrates the use of checklists to assess and check ESD programme compliance
• Discussion & Questions

• ESD Coordinators
• Production engineers
• Quality engineers
• Engineers who need to understand and implement ESD measures

Dr Jeremy Smallwood MIEE FInstP CEng CPhys is an independent Consultant specialising in electrostatic discharge (ESD) research, and consultancy and ESD training.
Jeremy combines simple down-to-earth demonstrations with top level understanding of ESD issues, to provide interesting and effective training presentations. The demonstrations bring alive the reality of electrostatic charging and how this can lead to ESD damage, as well as demonstrating the effectiveness of ESD prevention measures.
Jeremy's in-depth knowledge allows him to clearly identify and explain key topics during basic training, while taking the subject to much greater depth in specialist training courses. In recent years he has been closely involved in developing the British Electrostatic Control Association (BECA) Seminar programme and in December 2003 was elected Chairman of BECA.
Jeremy spent 7 years in industrial electronics R&D before joining the University of Southampton as a contract Research Fellow in electrostatic discharge studies. He subsequently led the Electrostatics Section at ERA Technology Ltd until March 1998, covering a wide range of electrostatic projects, training and consultancy work.
In March 1998 he set up Electrostatic Solutions Ltd to give independent expert electrostatics related R&D, training and consultancy services.
He is an expert member of the British Standards national committee on electrostatic damage prevention and is Chairman of IEC TC101 Electrostatics, which drafted the new BS EN 61340-5-1 & 61340-5-2 ESD standards.
