Abstract
A system for placing a person in electrical continuity with the ground in order to reduce the buildup of electric charge on a person's body. The system of the present invention comprises a shoe with an attached shoe grounding device and a plurality of grounded mats. The shoe grounding device is attached to the shoe in a manner that puts the interior surface of the body of the shoe in electrical continuity with the heel of the shoe. The heel of the shoe can be placed in electrical continuity with the ground by placing the heel of the shoe on top of any of the plurality of grounded mats, which are connected to the ground by a grounding wire. The system as a whole allows a person using the system to place themselves in electrical continuity with the ground.
