To help create and maintain the highest standards of protection against ESD in the workplace, 3M offers several options for employee training and program development. A two-day, intensive workshop is conducted four times a year in Austin, Texas as a "train-the-trainer" or for the ESD program manager. Awareness, testing and measuring, standards development, and much more, comprise this course.
When employee training is needed, 3M can provide solutions as well. As part of our product support, 3M can deliver various versions of training for your organization, be it basic or advanced. Having the facts presented properly, in terms easily understood, can help facilitate your ESD control program.
