Fatigue means discomfort. Anti Fatigue means something that provides comfort. Standing for a long time in required position can take a toll on our bodies in ways we may not be aware of in the moment. After a while, you may start to notice an aching feeling in your back, legs, and feet that continues to creep up on you the longer you stand. Therefore, the Anti Fatigue Mat is something that provide comfort to the workers from this kind of discomfort while continuous working.

Anti Fatigue Mats, being soft and cushioned below feet allows proper blood circulation in workers body, mainly on Spine, lower limbs and joints ( by muscle pump theory).

Quality and Safety Requirements of anti Fatigue Mat –

Thickness: Your mat should be thick enough to comfortably support you. 17mm to 25mm of thickness is generally agreed upon for the purpose.

Composition: Rubber tends to work best for standing, however there are options with gel and high-density foam; all of these options are anti-absorbent materials, which will help prevent mildew from developing over time if you spill anything. You’ll also want to make sure that your mat is anti-slip, especially if you have a bigger working area and tend to move around a lot. Mat should have a beveled edge for added safety

How Do Anti-Fatigue Mats Work?

Anti Fatigue Mats work by promoting subtle foot movement as the feet adapt to the cushioned surface, which helps the lower leg muscles contract and expand to improve circulation. Many of the most effective mats have patterns designed to promote lower leg movement

Why Use Anti-fatigue Mats?

Anti-fatigue mats are often used to decrease foot and lower limb disorders for workers who stand in one position for long periods. However, providing a mat may not solve the entire problem. Discomfort, tiredness, and sore feet, legs, knees or hips after long hours of standing are the combined effect of several factors, namely the design of the work, the workers’ footwear, and the flooring material. According to scientific data, standing for long periods of time is particularly stressful and fatiguing. Regardless of the quality of shoes and quality of the floor covering, standing itself can cause tiredness after an entire working day.

What Should Be Considered First When A Person Stands All Day At Work?

When considering the use of anti-fatigue mats, there are other factors that should be considered at the same time, such as allowing changes in working/standing position, footwear, and flooring.

Cushioned / padded Footwear soles also provides comfort : Footwear is a factor which, if properly chosen, may further reduce the harmful effects of prolonged standing. There is no doubt that the choice of footwear is an important consideration for people who work on their feet. Shoes should ensure adequate arch and heel support and cushioning while providing comfort to the wearer.

Soft Flooring of Cushioned Vinyl, Thick Rubber or high pile Carpets or carpets with underlays, wooden false floorings: The type of flooring used in the workplace has an equally important influence on comfort, especially on tender feet. Hard, unyielding floors, like concrete, are the least comfortable surface to work on. Walking on a hard floor is similar to the impact of a hammer pounding the heel at every step. Wood, cork, carpeting, or rubber – anything that provides some elasticity – is generally gentler on workers’ feet. More than that, softer floor coverings reduce fatigue and improve safety by reducing slips and falls on slippery floors.

When Should Anti-fatigue Mats Be Used?

1. There are two options to alleviate foot discomfort where resilient floors are not practical. One is footwear with thick insulating soles and shock-absorbing insoles.

1. Anti-fatigue matting is the other option. Anti-fatigue mats absorb the shock due to walking and this cushioning effect reduces foot fatigue.

Another type of floor covering, namely, anti-slip matting, is useful in increasing foot comfort and safety. However, workers may find that their feet burn and feel sore, because the non-slip properties of anti-slip matting cause their shoes to grab suddenly on the flooring, making their feet slide forward inside the shoes. Friction inside the shoes produces heat which creates soreness. Non-slip resilient insoles can reduce this discomfort.

In summary, the use of Duro Active Anti Fatigue Mats or placing carpeting on the floor does not eliminate sore feet by itself, but, when combined with proper work design and quality footwear, it should improve working conditions.

SPENDING EXTENDED PERIODS of time standing can take a toll on our bodies in ways we may not be aware of in the moment. After a while, you may start to notice an aching feeling in your back, legs, and feet that continues to creep up on you the longer you stand.

You may be able to push through in the moment if you’re focused on a task, but after the adrenaline wears off you may be left wondering, “Where did this come from?” By placing an anti-fatigue mat in key standing areas, such as in front of your stove, sink, or standing desk, you can provide an adequate cushion to alleviate the pressure being placed on these key areas of your body while you’re standing.

Unlike a woven mat, the best anti-fatigue mats are made of dense materials, like rubber, that can absorb shock and provide optimal support. They are also oftentimes safer mats to keep in kitchens also, as they won’t slip as easily; most of these mats are actually anti-slip to keep in place while you move around. Additionally, these mats will last longer than a woven mat, due to the materials they’re made out of. If you’re someone who finds themselves standing for extended periods of time throughout the day (beyond time spent in the kitchen), you could benefit from investing in one of these mats.
