Mats to reduce fatigue

It is estimated that half the UK
workforce spends four or more hours
standing or walking as part of their
job. Standing for long periods,
particularly on hard floors, causes
fatigue, lack of concentration and
reduces productivity and can also
lead to more serious medical
problems such as circulation
disorders and joint damage.

One solution is to install and work
on specially designed anti-fatigue
mats manufactured by Plastic
Extruders. The Tuff Spun and Zed
Land ranges, for example, are hard –
working mats which reduce fatigue
and are comfortable underfoot. They
are manufactured from high density
foam with a heavy duty bonded top
layer which reduces fatigue, provides
some slip resistance and makes
standing more comfortable.
