What should be consider when use anti-fatigue mats?



Q：What should be consider when use anti-fatigue mats?
A: Changes in working/standing position
Worker should be 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.


B: Footwear
Footwear is a factor which, if properly chosen, may further reduce the harmful effects of prolonged standing. Shoes should ensure adequate arch and heel support and cushioning while providing comfort to the wearer.

C: 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.
