Standing for a long time in one place has been scientifically proven to be very tiring. Sore feet, sore joints, and general discomfort and tiredness can all the result of standing in one place for too long. Hard flooring surfaces, inadequate footwear, and the type of work being performed can all contribute to worker fatigue. A high-quality mat, though not a total solution, can go a long way towards relieving worker fatigue.
Anti-fatigue mats can also absorb the shock due to walking. Linkable anti-fatigue mat sections are a good choice when long strips of anti-fatigue matting is required, as custom lengths can be created and they are easy to dissemble for cleaning or replacement of individual sections.
A side benefit of most anti-fatigue matting is that it can also offer a slip resistant surface. When a slip-resistant surface is a must-have feature, you should check manufacturer’s specifications and see if their products are certified slip-resistant by the National Floor Safety Institute.
