Learn more about the role of anti-fatigue mat comfort in the retail environment.
The nature of work at Clan Innovations requires employees to spend long hours standing at workbenches and operating wood-cutting machines on concrete floors. This constant standing on hard concrete floors led to discomfort, fatigue, and potential long-term physical strain on the workforce. Employees needed a solution that would provide better comfort, reduce strain, and insulate them from the cold flooring to enhance overall workplace well-being.
To address this issue, Clan Innovations turned to COBA for an effective workplace comfort solution. COBA supplied Orthomat® Premium Bubble Anti-Fatigue Mats, designed to reduce fatigue and improve workplace ergonomics. These anti-fatigue mats were strategically placed in areas where workers stood for prolonged periods, offering the much-needed support and relief from the hard concrete floor.
Why Orthomat® Premium Bubble Anti-Fatigue Mats? This mat was selected due to its exceptional fatigue-relief properties and superior durability. The mats feature:
- A dual-layer construction for optimal comfort and longevity.
- A raised bubble patterned surface that stimulates feet and legs, aiding circulation and preventing fatigue.
- A low-density underlayer for effective underfoot cushioning and insulation from cold concrete.
- Tapered edges to reduce trip hazards and improve workplace safety.
- High visibility options with bright yellow borders for enhanced safety awareness.
The introduction of anti-fatigue mats at Clan Innovations significantly improved workplace comfort and employee well-being. Workers reported noticeable differences in their comfort levels and reduced strain at the end of the workday.
Nathan Keightley, Managing Director at Clan Innovations, shared his experience: “The team at Clan Innovations have noticed a positive improvement from standing on the anti-fatigue mats. They are on their feet for most of the day, so it’s important they feel comfortable. We are extremely happy with the anti-fatigue matting from COBA.”
A worker also shared his perspective: “I used to work on concrete for years, and since working at Clan where they use anti-fatigue mats, I have noticed a massive improvement in comfort as well as reduced strain at the end of the day from standing.”
By implementing COBA’s Orthomat® Premium Bubble Anti-Fatigue Mats, Clan Innovations has enhanced workplace ergonomics, reduced worker fatigue, and improved overall comfort. This case study exemplifies how investing in the right ergonomic solutions can lead to a healthier, more productive workforce.
