Safety Matting

Floor Mats: Buying Guide

Providing your workforce with matting and safety flooring has many benefits. Your business, school or public access area will be complying with safety standards which creates a safer work environment. We also have a variety of safety and flooring products that have been proven to reduce worker fatigue or minimise the risk of hazards, such as static electricity.

All our safety flooring and matting can be installed easily, to any floor area where slips and falls might be a concern. You just have to identify which areas need coverage and then determine whether you would prefer mats for smaller areas or tiles to cover larger spaces.

Safety Matting and Flooring: Designs

There are many workplace environments that require staff to be on their feet for a long period of time on a daily basis. This can lead to worker fatigue, which has been proven to have an effect on the overall health of colleagues. Installing our anti-fatigue matting in locations such as warehouses, schools and kitchens will keep staff and pupils comfortable for longer whilst reducing risk, adhering to health and safety legislation, and improve their productivity.

If you work with high voltage equipment or switchboards, our rubber safety mats could be the right choice for you. The rubber matting is safe to use in welding bays and can keep your workplace environment clean, as you can use the mat to scrape footwear.

In order to comply with health and safety regulations, reducing the risk of contamination and cross-contamination is a must. Our contamination matting can be useful in many locations such as food preparation areas and construction sites where hazardous substances have been recognised as a potential threat. In order to comply with health and safety regulations, it is vital that harmful substances are stopped from entering or exiting a workplace. Our matting can prevent the spread of dirt, dust or dangerous fibres.

As a part of your workplace strategy, floor markers and signs also need to be considered. We have an extensive range of durable and easy to fix solutions. They allow you to clearly communicate potentially dangerous situations with your staff and pupils. If your organisation uses PPE (Personal Protection Equipment), we offer a range of floor markers that can be used to support the health and safety policy within your company.

Plastic safety matting helps to improve worker experience. It has the ability to improve fatigue in standing workers whilst reducing potential hazards, as the flooring minimises the risk of static electricity build-up in workplaces.
