Standing easy
May 1st 2010 Zedland heavy duty antifatigue
matting from Plastic
Extruders, coupled with
increasingly stringent Health
& Safety requirements, is
reported to be helping to
overcome problems of
fatigue for people who have
to stand at work.
Research from the TUC
has shown that standing for
long periods, particularly on
hard or cold floors, causes
severe and long-term
physical disorders. This can
include bone damage,
varicose veins, poor
circulation and water
retention and, commonly,
back problems.
Zedland is one of a series
of anti-fatigue solutions
developed by Plastic
Extruders to ameliorate these
problems, protect the health
of employees and, in turn,
increase levels of alertness
and boost productivity. The
matting comprises patented
high molecular density foam,
which induces muscle flexing
and significantly reduces
fatigue. The inherent
resilience, which will not
deaden with use, represents a
measure of the 'bounce' felt
when standing on the mat.
The matting is available in
dark grey or blue and in a
range of sizes and roll
lengths. Samples and details
of the full range of antifatigue
mattings are available
from Plastic Extruders. More articles from Plastic Extruders Limited: |
