ABSTRACT:
An anti-static grounding arrangement is adapted for use in a work environment system having work stations (100) with work surfaces (182) and conductive storage containers (132, 160) capable of housing electronic components or similar items which are sensitive to electrostatic charge accumulations. Hanger rails (120) and dispensing rails (162) for suspending the containers (132, 160) from work station panels (102, 104) include metallic grounding plates (124, 168) which contact the conductive container (132, 160) surfaces. The grounding plates (124, 168) are conductively connected to ground wires (138, 148, 178) which provide a low impedance path from the grounding strips (124, 168) to an earth ground. The grounding arrangement also includes metallic plates (232, 252) for use with transport carts (220, 240) which transport certain of the containers (132) between work stations (100).
