Safety Matting Guide

Safety Matting

The use of safety matting is essential for protecting your workforce from slips and trips, and fatigue. Slips, trips and falls are still the most common types of non-fatal injuries at work, accounting for 30% of incidents, and musculoskeletal disorders affect 477, 000 workers resulting in over 7 million lost days at work.*

Quality safety matting can provide a simple solution reducing slips and trips, or the installation of anti-fatigue matting can improve not only the productivity of your workforce, but also their wellbeing. Matting can be used in various industrial environments including manufacturing, engineering, automotive, aerospace and distribution. Safety matting solutions also extend to specialist high risk areas, for example, areas that require electrical insulation matting or electrostatic discharge mats.
