Safeclip is the solution !

Safeclip is a (patent-applied) band made from a special electricity-conducting plastic which can be attached without any tools and fits firmly on your Crocs shoes. When Safeclip is mounted on your shoe, static electricity is led away from your body while you stand or walk. 
Safeclip has been tested together with Crocs shoes by the the Technical Research Institute of Sweden. They found that Safeclip effectively dissipates static electricity before it reaches dangerous levels and Safeclip has received a normal anti-static classification (of electrostatic discharge safety). Safeclip insures you can use your Crocs shoes in workplaces with sensitive electrical devices.

How does the Safeclip work?

Crocs shoes isolate the wearer electrically from the floor, which can generate an accumulation of high electrical potentials (20 000-30 000V). When spontaneous discharge occurs a strong spark is caused.
Crocs shoes of this type have been forbidden in hospitals in Norway, by some Swedish County Healthcare Authorities, and in other workplaces because of risk for disturbing sensitive electrical equipment.  Other workplaces have encouraged caution if employees use Crocs shoes . 
Safeclip solves this problem by forming electrical contact between the foot and the floor. This means that each time you put your foot on the floor, electricity is led away from you body and into the floor, just as if you were barefoot. Damage to sensitive electrical instruments and equipment is prevented by Safeclip which conducts away any potentially strong electrostatic buildup. The risk that you would get an unpleasant spark when you touch an object that is earthed is also reduced.Sparks you recive even though you are grounded with Safeclip comes from charged colleagues/objekts discharging through you. This is harmless,but indicates that your colleague should attend to her/his shoes.

Protective function

Safeclip is manufactured from an electricity conducting plastic with high natural conductive resistance.  This means that Safeclip limits the amount of current that can be damaging if the carrier accidentally comes in contact with a high voltage source (for example 220V).  Safeclip prevents direct short-circuiting by discharge to the ground, in contrast to earthed equipment constructed of metal.  Important:  in order to decrease the risk of electrical injuries in connection with electrical installations, Safeclip should be removed from the shoe (despite its protective function).
 
Some pirated copies of Safeclip can contain metal and other materials which can be extremely dangerous in the event of an electrical accident.

What is static electricity and electrostatic discharge?

Up until the eigthteenth century, static electricity was the only known form of electricity.
Static electricity can occur when 2 materials are rubbed against each other.  This is illustrated by the effect seen at childrens´ parties when  balloons are rubbed against ones hair then stick to  the walls or ceiling.
Static electricity arises when there is an uneven distribution of electrical charge at rest.  This uneven charge becomes static when the positive and negative charges are separated by an isolating layer, since an electricity conductor would just lead away any electrical current to even out the different charges.  In nature, electrical currents can occur, for example lightning between 2 clouds which have different electrical charges, or between the clouds and the ground.
ESD is caused when an object  which holds a static electrical charge is unloaded by coming in contact with, or coming close enough to, another object which has a different electrostatic charge. An electrostatic discharge usually occurs very quickly, and the charge can reach thousands of volts. Electrostatic discharge from objects we come in contact with everyday can cause discomfort, but generally is not directly dangerous for people. On the other hand, these discharges can disturb or damage sensitive electronic equipment, including internal computer parts. They can also cause ignition of flammable fluids or explosive gases.
ESD-protection guards against strong electrostatic discharges occurring in sensitive workplaces.
ESD-protection is used where sensitive electrical circuits are present or when sparks must be avoided because of the presence of explosive substances or gases.
In workplaces with sensitive electrical equipment, it is common that the floor is made of conducting material which is earthed.  Personnel are required to wear special shoes and electrically conducting worktables used which are connected to earthed wires.
Personnel can wear an armbands which are earthed, and they are encouraged not to wear clothes made of certain materials including wool and nylon.
