HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST WORKPLACE MATTING

Our workplace mats fall into two categories: slip-resistant matting and anti-fatigue matting.

 

Anti-slip matting

Slipping and tripping is the single biggest cause of injuries in the UK workplace (UK HSE). Our slip-resistant matting is specifically designed to:

– Improve safety underfoot
– Reduce slip, trip and fall accidents
– Remove spillages and debris from the working area   

All of our non-slip mats are made from non-porous PVC with deeply etched surfaces for superior slip resistance. Our Herongripa mat also has additional animal fat-resistant properties. 

Use this guide to help you decide which non-slip mat is best suited to your workplace. You can also see all our slip-resistant mats here.

Anti-fatigue matting

With half the UK workforce standing for over four hours a day, employers that provide high quality underfoot comfort will see:

– Improved concentration
– Decreased risk of circulatory problems
– Improved productivity
– Decreased injury risk 

Our anti-fatigue floor mats are scientifically designed to help prevent circulatory problems by encouraging blood flow through micro-muscle movements. 

This guide will help you decide which anti-fatigue matting is best for your workplace. You can also see all our slip-resistant mats here.
