Im only worried about the equipment for things like static charge and
surges, so what can happen.

I once worked in a large big name retail chain. With over a hundred
computer cash registers static was a big problem. It knocked out more
than one during the day. All kinds of solutions were tried. As it ended
up two worked. First was my suggestion of anti-static spray, renewed
twice a week (turned out that ended up being my job) and about two
generations later the equipment become less sensitive.

Similar situation.

I made all my female employees show me their panties, privately, before work
to guarantee they weren't wearing nylon!

After implementing this plan, static discharges stopped.

I also sprayed the floor, before anyone else got to the shop, with my own
mixture of 2 tbls fabric softener to 1 pint of water, but I don't think that
had anything to do with the static electricity. No, I'm quite convinced it
was my panty-diligence that did the trick. Heck, in cases where there was
some doubt, I had the ladies LEAVE their panties in my office during their
shift!
