Improving Worker Well-being with Tailored Anti-Fatigue Solutions
In the heart of many industrial workplaces is the need to support worker well-being, especially in environments where employees are on their feet for extended periods. Our customer, a well-known Midlands-based Japanese car manufacturer, requested a solution that would enhance comfort and reduce fatigue for their workforce. The challenge was to design a specialized ‘safety zone’ feature within seamless areas of matting, tailored to their operational requirements.
We recommended our Orthomat Premium product, a high-performance anti-fatigue mat engineered for environments where employees are exposed to long periods of standing. This tailored solution combines the durability and resilience of Orthomat Premium with a specialised colour design, creating not only a durable foam PVC mat that covers a large area but also one that offers users a high comfort level.
Now that’s a “Safety Zone”!
Anti-Fatigue for Industrial Workplaces
The Orthomat Premium offers a wide range of benefits tailored specifically to industries like manufacturing, where employees often work in demanding, high-traffic areas. Designed with exceptional fatigue-relief properties, it is an investment in worker comfort and safety. The mat’s dual-layer construction provides both superior cushioning and lasting durability, offering essential support that helps prevent fatigue and discomfort during long standing periods.
A key feature of the Orthomat Premium is its tough textured top surface, which ensures excellent resistance to wear and tear in high-traffic areas. This resilience is critical in manufacturing environments where mats have to endure rouged environment, turning and shift work movement. Additionally, the mat’s low-density underlayer delivers effective cushioning, which reduces strain on the legs, joints, and lower back, contributing to improved productivity and aiding in worker comfort.
Employees are often required to work on hard, cold concrete floors. The Orthomat Premium mitigates this issue by offering insulation against the cold, ensuring that employees remain comfortable throughout their shifts. The mat’s tapered edges are designed to reduce trip hazards, enhancing the workers safety by preventing slip accidents.
The Orthomat Premium comes in a range of colours, providing flexibility in design and allowed this customer to maintain a visually appealing and functional environment. It is also fire-tested to BS EN 13501-1, ensuring that it meets strict standards in case of fire emergencies.
This solution not only met but exceeded our client’s expectations, providing a durable, comfortable, and safe environment for their employees. By integrating Orthomat Premium into their workplace, the client has significantly enhanced worker comfort, reduced fatigue, and improved overall productivity.
