Our safety mats are designed to generally help make life easier. Whether that’s simply keeping your premise clean, preventing slips and trips in the workplace, or making the work environment comfier by reducing aches and pains.
We stock a wide range of mats which are suitable for all types of business, even including heavy duty matting solutions for industrial locations. However, with many options available, it can sometimes be difficult to work out exactly what you need.
Do I Need Anti-Fatigue Mats?
If people are on their feet all day on a hard, perhaps stood at a workstation, production line or kitchen, then anti-fatigue mats are highly advised to improve the health and safety of workers. By providing a comfortable standing surface, you help to prevent fatigue and the resulting aches, pains and stiffness often found in their feet, legs and lower back.
When it comes to making a decision on what you require, then it needs to be suitable for the environment, work being carried out, and the people using it.
Available with bevelled edges and yellow awareness boarders, trips are prevented, and choosing a hard-wearing nitrile rubber mat will withstand the tough demands of heavy traffic flow.
In a wet and/or greasy environment, such as kitchens and wash areas, then the anti-fatigue mat you choose should be suitable for wet work. Generally, this means the mat is able to drain away liquids from the surface and improves grip to prevent accidental slips.
How do I choose the right mat for my workplace environment?
Start with what's on the floor. Dry, wet, oily, and food-grade environments each need a different mat. For dry industrial or warehouse settings, a standard rubber anti-fatigue mat with bevelled edges does the job. For kitchens, wash areas, or anywhere liquid or grease is present, you need open drainage and a non-slip surface.
Are these mats suitable for wet, oily, or chemical environments?
Yes, several are. The Anti-slip Safety Mat is designed for wet and oily conditions, with open holes that allow liquid to drain away from the standing surface. The Kitchen Anti-fatigue Mat is suitable for wet and dry work and is easy to clean, making it the right choice for commercial kitchens and food production environments.
Do anti-fatigue mats help with health and safety compliance for standing workstations?
Yes. Employers have a legal duty to reduce workplace health risks, and prolonged standing on hard floors is a recognised hazard. Providing anti-fatigue matting at standing workstations is a practical, well-established way to meet that obligation - and is consistent with HSE guidance on reducing strain at work.
How durable are these mats under heavy industrial use?
The mats in this range are built for industrial environments. The nitrile rubber construction on key products resists grease, oils, and heavy foot traffic, with bevelled edges that prevent curling under load. These mats are intended for standing workstation use - if your site involves wheeled machinery or forklift traffic crossing the mat area, we'd recommend checking individual product specs or calling the team on 0808 175 4375 before ordering.
How do I clean and maintain these safety mats?
Most mats in this range are designed for straightforward cleaning - they can be hosed down or turned upside down and shaken out.
What if the mat I order isn't right for the job?
All mats are covered by our free 90-day returns policy. If it doesn't suit your environment or application once you've received it, you can return it for a full refund or exchange - no quibble.
