“Wrist straps shall be checked before use. Each check shall be made with the wrist band worn in contact with the wearer's skin and with the ground cord attached to the appropriate tester.” (EN 61340 5 1 paragraph 9.6 Daily checks, paragraph 9.6.2 Wrist strap)

“Where toe and heel straps are used as ESID footwear, once these are worn outside the EPA, particularly on carpets, they are likely to accumulate fluff and become ineffective; this requires that they be checked or replaced on every visit to the EPA. …When ESD footwear is used, it should be noted that ESD footwear alone cannot achieve protection, but needs to be used in conjunction with a suitable ESID floor.” (EN 61340-5-2 Paragraph 5.2.8 Footwear)

“All wearers shall check that their heel and toe straps meet requirements. The check shall be made before entering the EPA.” (EN 61340 5‑1 Daily checks, paragraph 9.6.3 Non‑permanent footwear)
