To Use, or Not to Use Anti-Fatigue Mats
There are many people that believe in the use of Anti-fatigue matting, and some that believe they are good without it. Over the past year, I have found that most people that are offered anti-fatigue matting but do not use it are the younger generation. Older workers who said they also grew up not using anti-fatigue matting really appreciated the use of anti-fatigue products. One can only think, if the younger generation used anti-fatigue matting during their working career, how many skeletal disorders might be prevented as these workers aged?
Further, I have seen that most workers choice not to use the anti-fatigue matting was due to the matting being too small and the hassle of always having to step on and off of the mat.
Things to consider when selecting anti-fatigue matting:
- What are the working conditions like? Certain mats perform better in wet areas versus dry areas.
- Be sure to discuss the benefits desired with the plant workers, and ask direct questions of everyone. Do you experience static shock on the job? Are hot parts, or materials used in the work zone to be matted? Is there any potential for slip and fall, either on fine dust, ormoisture on the floor?
- Be careful not to allow stools to sit on Anti-fatigue matting, which may cause falls.
- Consider matting the entire work cell, so that it is a) not possible to slide the matting aside, and b) the employees do not have to step on and off of the matting at all times during the day.
- Make certain your product guarantee is an "Unconditional" 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed or find someone that does offer this. Get it in writing.
Enjoy a safer, and happier workplace!
