1kV won't jump very far at low altitude.

Even at 30kV, the max my ESD gun could generate, I was only getting somewhere around a half to full one inch arcs. If you live on the peak of mt everest or in a high atmosphere weather balloon though you might want to take a little more precaution depnding on 1kV source output impedance. ;-) The ESD gun was based on human body model and just caused a pinch feeling in my toe when I tried discharging through it @30kV but it made the beatle crawling across the ESD bench quit moving when he got used as the path to ground.
