Accident-proof mats prevent accidents that could result in production losses and insurance claims costs, keeping employees happy, healthy, and safe.
Matting helps facilities remain cleaner by trapping dirt, dust and mud before it enters facilities through foot traffic. Mats specifically designed for wet environments are abrasion resistant so fluid flows freely without pooling on top.
Anti-Fatigue
Workplace injuries cost American businesses millions in lost worker hours, insurance claims and other expenses. Installing mats with anti-fatigue properties may help relieve workers of foot, leg and back strain that contributes to serious illnesses that result in time off the job.
Mats come in various densities and it is essential that one is selected that suits the work area in which it will be used. For instance, an anti-fatigue mat intended for standing desks must feature closed-cell nitrile blend materials which are resistant to decompression while still offering support and offering the necessary surface.
Beveled edges on mats should also be designed to avoid trip hazards and increase safety, making them much simpler to spot and move across than mats with straight edges which may become caught on machinery or other obstacles.

Slip and fall incidents account for 19% of workplace injuries, making safe floors an essential component of creating a positive work environment.
Commercial floor mats can help protect visitors and employees from slipping on slippery surfaces, while keeping debris at bay to help safeguard against scrapes and scratches in your facility’s floor surface.
Wet-area mats equipped with drainage capabilities are an ideal choice for areas that may experience spills or puddles of any sort, whether from chemicals, grease, or water. These mats allow people to remain moving safely in the area until the hazard has been cleaned up and cleared away.
Some mats can be customized with safety warnings or messages such as “Caution,” to alert workers to potential dangers. High-visibility yellow mats are especially helpful here since their distinctive hue stands out against surrounding surfaces. Furthermore, electrically conductive or electrostatic dissipative mats may also protect equipment from static charges that could damage it when touched by workers.
Anti-Static
Mats can help to lower the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can damage sensitive equipment and products. Anti static mats are specially designed to dissipate static electricity by absorbing it rather than letting it build up and discharge onto people or products; some even provide additional ESD protection by being grounded.
If you own or manage a computer repair shop or similar workplace, installing antistatic mats could help to protect delicate equipment and materials from becoming damaged by static electricity. For larger manufacturing facilities that manufacture microchips or similar electronic devices, using both antistatic and slip resistant mats might be more suitable.

Noise Reduction
Workplace accidents can be costly for businesses – both financially and human resource wise. Many workplace accidents involve falls from either slipping or tripping; both types are easily avoidable with mats in strategic spots.
Mats that display safety warnings help make employees and visitors aware of any potential workplace hazards that might be present. Printing these messages directly onto a floor mat increases visibility, making them much more noticeable than small signs that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Some mats can also be printed with warning words or messages to alert of potential dangers, such as “caution” or “high-voltage area”. These mats, known as conductive or antistatic mats, feature insulated materials designed to draw static electricity away from people standing on them and protect sensitive electronic equipment by drawing away static electricity away from people who stand on them, thus helping avoid damage to machinery or expensive equipment.
