What is anti-fatigue?
Anti-fatigue means that the product material is designed to prevent or reduce fatigue for people standing at work for long periods of time. Anti-fatigue matting is a simple solution for employees that work on their feet.
What are the advantages of avoiding fatigue with floor mats?
Anti-fatigue floor mats stimulate the calf muscles to move more and improve overall standing health. Standing for long periods of time at work without appropriate flooring like anti-fatigue mats can lead to health problems such as back pain and poor circulation.
When anti-fatigue floor matting is not used, muscles can harden quickly and lead to poor posture, especially on hard and cold industrial floors. Standing for long periods of time at work can adversely affect employee health, cause MSDs (musculoskeletal disorders), and affect productivity.
Fatigue matting helps to stimulate blood circulation and thus prevents signs of fatigue in standing activities. Not all anti-fatigue matting is made equally. Well-selected anti-fatigue matting relieves the pressure on the feet, joints, and spine and makes an important contribution to the overall health of your employees.
How much do fatigue mats cost?
The cost depends on the type of environment that requires the mats and the quality selected. Investment in anti-fatigue matting is worthwhile, due to the reduction in absenteeism, sick leave, and the increase in employee wellbeing and productivity.
How to choose anti-fatigue matting?
In general, it can be said that a closed industrial mat is suitable for dry workplaces, while an “open” workstation mat (a mat with drainage holes) provides the necessary drainage for workplaces where oils, water, or other liquids are used. We offer a wide range of different anti-fatigue mats so that the right mat can be found in every work environment.
Things to consider when selecting anti-fatigue matting:
- Will trucks and trolleys be used on or around the matting?
- Do you require matting on a roll, individual mats, or interlocking tiles?
- Will the matting come into contact with chemicals or other liquids?
Is fatigue floor matting resistant to chemicals?
Yes, there are specific anti-fatigue mats made of special PVC or nitrile rubber (NBR) that are resistant to oils and chemicals. Please contact our team to inquire about specific resistances.
How thick should a rubber anti-fatigue mat be?
The thicker the mat the more you would be able to rely on the mat to provide you with anti-fatigue properties, however, the higher a mat's profile is the more of a tripping hazard it can become. Our mats are equipt with beveled edges to avoid tripping hazards. Each situation of standing hours or working conditions would influence the thickness that is required
