Cleanroom Protocols + ESD Training by Tonex
This course provides in-depth knowledge of cleanroom protocols and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) safety practices essential for high-reliability environments. Participants will learn how to minimize contamination risks and control electrostatic events. The training ensures personnel understand cleanroom classifications, gowning procedures, and ESD-safe behaviors. Poor adherence can compromise product integrity, particularly in sensitive electronic or aerospace applications. Improper ESD handling may also lead to cybersecurity vulnerabilities due to latent device failures and compromised hardware integrity. Strengthening cleanroom and ESD discipline supports a secure and robust operational infrastructure.
