Solves long standing problem
April 1st 2008

Standing Fatigue Solutions is a new data sheet published by Plastic Extruders. It is designed as a visual guide to solving the problem of standing fatigue which has been shown to be the cause of progressive bone damage, varicose veins, poor circulation, water retention and back problems.

The company recently completed a large export order for Zed Land antifatigue matting to relieve hard floor working conditions in a European munitions factory and depot.

The matting was chosen not only for its comfort and bounce underfoot, but for its suitability for static sensitive environments.

Standing Fatigue Solutions spotlights a variety of applications where people will benefit from antifatigue matting.
