Fatigue Mat

Standing for prolonged periods of time can cause exhaustion and even trauma to your legs and back. Fatigue mats are designed to relieve the pressure put on your legs and spine that accompanies long periods of standing, especially when standing on hard floor, such as concrete and tile. Fatigue mats absorb the shock of walking, as well as providing a comfortable pad to stand on. Many fatigue mats can be used on both dry and wet floors, making them ideal for a wide variety of professionals, including people in retail, food service, factories, warehouse, and health care industry. Fatigue mats can be rubber, vinyl, carpeting, or even wood. Fatigue mats cannot relieve all the stress or pain from standing for long periods of time. While fatigue mats can lead to significant improvements, many factors contribute to weariness, including footwear and the job itself. Also, caution should always be used when installing fatigue mats, because improperly installed fatigue mats could lead to tripping and injury. Fatigue mats can cause friction between the foot and the shoe because the fatigue mats grip the sole of the shoe. Fatigue mats can be very beneficial, but in order to maximize the relief, you should also wear appropriate footwear and make sure the job itself does not require poor posture.
