Anti-fatigue mats were created to increase comfort and health and to reduce fatigue for workers who are required to stand for long periods of time at their jobs. These custom mats directly combat the problems caused by harsh flooring conditions, such as hard concrete, that can cause significant health issues such as neck and back pain, decreased circulation, worker fatigue, and muscle strains. The health benefits of these mats can increase worker productivity and therefore cause significant cost savings for a company.
Increased Comfort
A study by an mat manufacturer assessed the benefits of anti-fatigue mats. Before installing anti-fatigue mats, a large manufacturing company reported a high rate of injuries as well as a high rate of absences, up to 10 percent on some days. Workers at the company were polled to determine the type of surface on which they stood during their shift, their level of fatigue before and after each shift, and the level of discomfort in their legs and feet before and after each shift.
After installing anti-fatigue mats, the workers were polled monthly for a one-year period. Over that time, the participants reported that they felt appreciably less fatigued before and after work, and that their legs, lower back, and feet felt much more comfortable with the mats.
Increased Productivity and Savings
In this particular study, the company reported:
- Increase in worker productivity
- Lower absentee rates
- Lower rates of injury
- Reduction in insurance costs
Anti-fatigue mats seemed to produce significant health benefits for workers, thereby reducing injuries and absences and increasing productivity.
Custom Anti-Fatigue Mats
Since the needs of each business and their workers differ, ergonomic anti-fatigue mats can be customized to fit into particular spaces or cut to particular lengths. Additionally, different types of anti-fatigue mats offer solutions for workers in different industries and working environments, including offices, industrial and production settings, laboratories, and more. By adding ergonomic elements to your work environment, you may be able to increase worker comfort and productivity.
