I consider it deadly. I would never have a metal electronics 
work desktop. It not only is dangerous to the worker, it is 
dangerous to equipment.

We work on carpet squares that we spray with anti-static 
spray. It nicer on cabinets, stuff doesn't slide around, 
safe for the worker, and clip leads don't short to bench and 
melt.
