Benefits of Anti-Fatigue Mats

Research shows Anti Fatigue Mats can significantly improve productivity and employee satisfaction while reducing absenteeism and chronic illnesses related to long-term standing. Anti-fatigue mats help keep workers comfortable, making them more productive with fewer injuries.

Benefits of Anti-Fatigue Mats

Our anti-fatigue mats help ease leg, foot, and lower back fatigue and pain. Some other benefits of using anti-fatigue mats include a 50 percent reduction in tiredness and discomfort and reducing absenteeism by a third. Anti-fatigue mats help decrease foot and lower limb disorders for workers who stand for long periods. Discomfort, tiredness, and sore feet, legs, knees, or hips after long hours of standing can impact an employee's productivity and cause health issues later. Research has shown standing for long periods of time is particularly stressful and fatiguing. Anti-fatigue mats help absorb the shock due to walking and standing. This cushioning effect reduces foot fatigue and leg stress over long periods.

What are anti-fatigue mats?

Anti-fatigue mats are mats designed to reduce fatigue caused by standing for long periods on a hard surface (e.g., cement floors). Fatigue-reducing mats can be made of various materials including rubber, carpeting materials, vinyl, and wood.

Why use anti-fatigue mats?

Anti-fatigue mats are often used to decrease foot and lower limb disorders for workers who stand in one position for long periods. However, providing a mat may not solve the entire problem. Discomfort, tiredness, and sore feet, legs, knees or hips after long hours of standing are the combined effect of several factors, namely the design of the work, the workers' footwear, and the flooring material. According to scientific data, standing for long periods of time is particularly stressful and fatiguing. Regardless of the quality of shoes and quality of the floor covering, standing itself can cause tiredness after an entire working day.

What should be considered first when a person stands all day at work?

When considering the use of Anti Fatigue Rubber Mats, there are other factors that should be considered at the same time, such as allowing changes in working/standing position, footwear, and flooring. Changes in working/standing position: Work should be organized so that the worker has some choice about his/her working position and an opportunity to change position frequently. A workplace that includes an optional seat (chair, sit/stand stool) and some kind of footrest increases the variety of body positions and encourages frequent changes between them.

Footwear: Footwear is a factor which, if properly chosen, may further reduce the harmful effects of prolonged standing. There is no doubt that the choice of footwear is an important consideration for people who work on their feet. Shoes should ensure adequate arch and heel support and cushioning while providing comfort to the wearer.

Flooring: The type of flooring used in the workplace has an equally important influence on comfort, especially on tender feet.
