At Neosol, you'll find low-cost, high-quality industrial, factory and workshop mats (industrial protection and safety equipment):
Support your company's sustainable prevention and safety initiatives with our range of anti-fatigue mats for industry.
These industrial floor coverings are designed to improve employee comfort during shift work.
The uses of ergonomic and anti-fatigue mats in industrial environments:
Industrial anti-fatigue mats are part of the family of industrial protective equipment designed to reduce fatigue caused by long periods spent standing on a hard surface.
According to experts in the field, the use of anti-fatigue industrial mats enhances workplace safety and improves the comfort of employees who have to work in a standing position on a hard surface (e.g. concrete, cement) for long periods of time.
Industrial anti-fatigue mats prevent RSI (musculo-skeletal disorders affecting the feet and lower limbs), improve productivity within the company and reduce the costs associated with illness and pain suffered by workers.
Prevent their long-term occurrence in your company by minimizing joint stress with industrial mats.
Which sectors are concerned by the installation of anti-fatigue industrial mats?
In the industrial sector, employees are often required to work in a standing position for long periods, trampling and/or carrying loads, which can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (lower limb and back pain, fatigue, poor circulation, etc.).
According to INRS, 49% of material handlers work more than 20 hours a week on their feet.
Anyone working in a standing position for an extended period of time without an industrial mat will progressively experience balance dysfunction and continuous muscle contraction, which can lead to blood circulation disruption, fatigue and problems in the back, legs and feet.
Back pain is common among employees who spend many hours on their feet each day.
In addition, repetitive movements and other work-related stress factors can accelerate the process.
The type of flooring used at work also has an impact on comfort, especially for people with sensitive feet.
Anti-fatigue industrial mats improve musculoskeletal comfort and help maintain the postural balance required for standing and uniform repetition, while reducing musculoskeletal problems and their impact on users' daily lives.
What are the advantages of anti-fatigue industrial mats?
The anti-fatigue mat creates a slight instability that allows the user's body to oscillate, stimulating the leg muscles. This unconsciously moves the operator's feet, even in a static position, relieving pressure on joints and boosting blood circulation.
The industrial anti-fatigue mats combine an ergonomic surface with a shock-absorbing rubber underlay that encourages the unconscious search for balance, stimulating blood circulation and reducing fatigue. However, care must be taken not to have a surface that is too soft, as in this case the operator will have to exert too much effort to maintain his own balance.
Thick, industrial-grade mats that considerably reduce vibration, dampen the clamor of large, noisy presses, and insulate feet from hard, cold floor surfaces and humidity.
Our anti-fatigue mats feature industry-specific properties such as anti-slip, oil and chemical resistance, static dissipative and anti-microbial properties, fire resistance, anti-vibration and sound insulation.
Industrial anti-fatigue mats contribute to increased productivity, workplace safety, industrial protection and a better working environment, while reducing the risk of slips, accidents, musculo-skeletal problems etc...
What are the advantages of anti-fatigue industrial mats?
When it comes to investing in an anti-fatigue mat, there are a number of selection criteria to bear in mind:
Safety criteria: the mat must cover the entire workstation, be securely fixed to the floor, not shift or slide, and have bevelled edges to prevent falls.
Thickness and flexibility criteria: Contrary to what you might think, you shouldn't choose a very thick or very soft mat. The anti-fatigue mat should have a certain elasticity, but still allow a comfortable standing position, without the user feeling slumped.
Environmental criteria :
Wet environment: in a wet environment, the anti-fatigue mat must not be slippery, so it must have anti-slip properties and a perforated surface to allow drainage of liquids.
Dry environment: in a dry environment, the anti-fatigue mat must have a granular, ergonomic bubble, striated or diamond plate surface.
However, depending on the environment in which the mat is used, it must meet specific hygiene standards (kitchens, pharmaceutical industries, food processing plants, etc.).
Environmental hazard criteria :
To establish more precise characteristics for a anti-fatigue mat (antistatic properties or fire resistance etc...) we need to take into account the hazards present in the environment where the mat will be installed.
Where hazardous liquids are present in the working environment, the anti-slip properties and chemical resistance of industrial mats must be taken into account. The presence of openings on mats that allow fluids to drain away is essential.
Traffic criteria :
Before choosing an anti-fatigue mat, you need to consider the traffic that takes place on the equipment: How many workers can walk on it? How often? etc. In order to choose the most suitable mat.
Discover Neosol's wide selection of ergonomic, innovative, individual and/or collective industrial mats to meet all your needs.
Example of an anti-fatigue mat:
Eco-responsible rubber anti-fatigue mats: ideal for wet and greasy environments.
Octagonal holes allow liquids to run off. Features a non-slip surface and cushioning effect. Textured, bevelled edges prevent loss of balance.
470 Marble Sof-Tyle: ideally suited to very intensive use in the pharmaceutical industry (dry environments).
This mat features a rubber surface and a redstop non-slip marble design to prevent slips and falls.
What's more, it has a robust surface laminated to a comfortable vinyl foam for exceptional durability and anti-fatigue properties.
Featuring Uni-Fusion technology specially developed to resist most industrial fluids and chemicals.
CHR individual anti-fatigue mat
Specially designed for shopkeepers, cashiers or sales staff in stores (etc...) who work in sit-stand postures, a real solution for improving comfort and preventing RSI.
Following the example of Orange or Apple stores, working in a sit-stand posture is very much in vogue. However, it can be uncomfortable for employees, who may experience muscular or back pain associated with this new sales practice.
Thanks to its thickness, this mat provides extreme ergonomic comfort and has been developed for people working in a standing position for long periods.
Its hard-wearing foam rubber molds the foot to distribute weight and reduce pressure on hard ground points. The flexibility of this foam rubber is due to a rebound effect that stimulates the unconscious search for balance to improve posture while maintaining blood circulation flow.
This mat has a slightly woven-effect surface design and bevelled edges to provide good support and minimize falls.
Anti-fatigue mat with molded edges: ideal for use in wet and greasy environments for intense use.
Mats for wet environments offer efficient drainage of debris and fluids thanks to perforations and raised edges, leaving a clean, dry surface.
Made from robust rubber for long life. Moulded edges on all 4 sides prevent falls and provide easy access for carts.
