- Antistatic mat
An antistatic floor mat or ground mat is one of a number of
antistatic devices designed to help eliminatestatic electricity . It does this by having a conductive material embedded within the mat that collects the static. The mat would need to be grounded (earthed). This is usually accomplished by plugging into the grounded line in an electrical outlet. It's important to discharge at a slow rate, therefore aresistor should be used in earthing the mat. Some ground mats allow you to connect anantistatic wrist strap to them.Reference
