ANTI-FATIGUE MATS PERK-UP PERSONNEL
June 1st 2005

Standing on hard floors for prolonged periods of time is one of the most common causes of employee discomfort and physical fatigue.

Not restricted to the feet and legs, the discomfort will also be felt in the back, shoulders and neck resulting in a detrimental effect on concentration and productivity.

The number one priority has to be to reduce the amount of time personnel spend standing. Antifatigue matting should also be considered.

Such mats encourage those standing on them to make small movements in their feet and legs. this helps the circulation system to work at an optimum level, so reducing stress on the veins and heart and the amount of energy used in pumping blood back up the body.

PHS Treadsmart offers wide range of anti-fatigue mats, and its specialist advisors ensure clients get the most suitable product for their needs by providing a free, noobligation survey.
