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.
