What type of ESD protection is needed in software test/ development environment?

The software developers where I work think that ESD protection in a software development lab environment is not needed, since it is non-production. But the equipment that tests are being run on is the same equipment in our customers' sites. What type of ESD protection would be needed in a development lab vs. manufacturing environment?

What type of ESD protection is needed in software test/ development environment?
Electrostatic discharge problems can occur at any time and any place. I've always felt it's better to err on the side of caution (the old "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" concept.) From an engineering standpoint, many of the problems associated with a manufacturing environment are present in a developmental environment. I think this article touches upon some of the commonalities faced by both.
