Keeping yourself and your equipment safe is foundational to effective IT work. This episode covers essential safety practices beginning with Electrostatic Discharge (E S D) prevention—why grounding matters and how to properly use wrist straps, mats, and anti-static bags. We explain how improper handling can damage sensitive components like CPUs, RAM, and storage devices even before they’re installed.

We also walk through best practices for lifting heavy equipment, handling tools in tight environments, and managing fire safety with the correct type of extinguisher for electrical equipment. CompTIA expects you to identify safe behavior in support scenarios, and this episode ensures you’re prepared to answer those questions accurately. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
