When I worked in an ammo factory, static electrical discharges were an ongoing hazard. We all wore conducting shoes or boots, [except for electricians, who had a removeable conducting carbon tail tucked in a sock, for obvious reasons]. I always wore 100% cotton or wool socks, and avoided man-made fibres for work underwear, just to ensure I could get past the monitoring station onto the plant and more importantly, walk out again!! Not sure that any of the above measures would work if the deck discharges through you - and totally impractical for a HO to take such. Remedial measures all look to be impractical, short-lived and cost $$$.
IMHO, this decking is primarily unsuitable for purpose and the owners should tell the vendor they want all their money back inc. install costs.
