Increasingly, the health of factory workers is coming under close scrutiny. Like the UK’s Health & Safety Executive, European legislation also encourages employers to take the best steps to improve working conditions. Consequently, a major part of many manufacturing welfare programmes involves solutions for reducing working fatigue.
The Swedish company specialises in the manufacture of insulated medical cases for the transportation of human organs. Here, the production areas have been improved by laying long lengths of anti-fatigue and slip resistant Zed Tred matting across the floor.
Zed Tred is widely used for health and safety in light to heavy duty industrial environments, especially where people stand for long periods, operate machinery or walk up and down production lines. The matting is designed to improve comfort underfoot by combining exceptionally hardwearing vinyl with high density foam backing, both of which are permanently fused together. The textured rib surface provides high slip resistance while the foam gives the matting the correct degree of cushioning to improve concentration and reduce tiredness. The matting will also withstand oil, chemical and acid spillages.
Several variations of matting are available in the anti-fatigue range produced by international manufacturer Plastic Extruders Ltd.
