1.0 Grounding Hardware
Several products are available to properly ground worksurfaces covered with static‑dissipative laminate and to
ground personnel and other equipment operating at such workstations. A line drawing follows the explanation of
each system:
A. 3M^™ Hard Laminate Grounding System 3041: This is a system that includes the hardware (ground
cord, bolt, nut, star, washer, etc.) needed to ground a benchtop covered with dissipative laminate. The
components of the kit allow several different methods of grounding to be used. In each method, a
star washer cuts through the top decorative layer of the laminate to make electrical contact with the
conductive layer beneath. The ground cord can be attached to either the top or the underside of the
bench.
