Picked for protection

Vynagrip matting from Plastic Extruders has been installed for the safety of workers at Alan Bartlett and Sons, a family-owned farm in Cambridgeshire, which specialises in large scale carrot and parsnip supply.

The matting has been laid along the production lines where pickers inspect the vegetables as well as beside the cutting and packing machinery.

Vynagrip was chosen as the existing chequer plate floor was not only uncomfortable for the workers who spend long hours standing, but also slippery when wet.

In this situation, Vynagrip's cushioning properties give added underfoot comfort while its deeplyetched surface makes it highly slip resistant, while its open grid construction allows liquid spills and production waste to fall through.
