Industrial Safety

Anti-fatigue mats are mats designed to reduce fatigue caused by standing for long periods on a hard surface (e.g., cement floors). Fatigue-reducing mats can be made of various materials including rubber, carpeting materials, vinyl, and wood.

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.

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.

• Changes in working/standing position: Work should be organized so that the worker has some choice about his/her working position and an opportunity to change position frequently. A workplace that includes an optional seat (chair, sit/stand stool) and some kind of footrest increases the variety of body positions and encourages frequent changes between them.
• Footwear: 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.
• Flooring: 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.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.

  Anti-fatigue matting is the other option. Anti-fatigue mats absorb the shock due to walking and this cushioning effect reduces foot fatigue. However, the use of matting requires caution because mats can lead to tripping and falling accidents when installed improperly.

  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 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.

BS8020:2012 is an exacting specification that our insulated shovels demands full adherence to detailed manufacturing and testing procedures for safe working practices to be maintained by the user when working on or in close proximity to live conductor cables.

Every single insulated shovel is flash tested to 10,000 Volts and printed with a BS8020 1000 Volt logo and issued with a certificate. This makes every insulated shovel totally traceable and guaranteeing full conformity to live live cable working specifications.

Our insulated shovels are doubly protected by twin layers of polymer sheathing which gives excellent protection against high voltage and abrasion. A specially integrated collar prevents the users hand slipping onto the blade of the insulated shovels.

We have a great range of different tools in our insulated shovel range. The taper mouth and square mouth shovels are used for backfilling trenches, concrete or tarmac mixing and general shovelling duties. The cable laying shovel has a narrow blade making it ideal for clay digging and heavy ground breaking work. This is similar to the trenching shovel where the narrow blade is perfect for trenches where cables and pipe and being layed. The blade on the newcastle draining tool, sometimes referred to as a graft, is designed for digging deep holes, deep narrow trenches, cable channels, pipe channels or post holes.

New Safe Dig insulated shovels have now been introduced to our range. The purpose of the Safe Dig insulated shovels is to reduce the risk of penetrating hidden cabling. It achieves this by having double thick leading edges on the blade of the shovel. The Safe Dig insulated shovels are to be used as part of a safe working practice when potentially live underground services may be present.
