Types of Industrial Workshop Mats:

No matter if you are a hobbyist, produce small components in your garage, or manage a large manufacturing facility with hundreds of workers, Workshop Mats can improve the safety and productivity of your workshop.  At competitive prices, we stock various styles of workshop mats, each with its own benefits and features. This article provides all the important information you need to know about workshop mats to help you choose the right one.

What are the Advantages of using Workshop Mats?

Industrial workshop mats help to protect both floors and workers by providing a tough but comfortable surface for them to stand on. The mats help to absorb impacts from heavy tools and equipment and prevent the spread of machining oils and swarf to other parts of the building. Many workshop mats also have excellent anti-fatigue properties, guaranteeing that employees get the best possible working environment while also complying with necessary health & safety rules and regulations.

The main features and functionalities of industrial workshop mats include:

Trapping Machine Oils and Swarf –  Swarf such as metal fillings, wood shavings, and other particles can cause major health and hygiene risks if left unattended. For these environments, we stock workshop mats with an array of compact holes, indents, or small wells to collect and trap any swarf when working.

Slip Resistance –  Anti-Slip Mats prevent or greatly reduce the risk of workers slipping, tripping, or falling within the surrounding area. These slip-resistant mats are usually made from rubber, which helps keep the mat fixed on the floor.

Wear Resistance -  In factories, garages, and workshops with high volumes of foot and operational vehicle traffic, it is imperative that the Workshop Floor Mats are durable to sustain the pressure, weight, and materials they come in contact which throughout the day.  

Oil Resistance – Oil Resistance is especially important in factories, manufacturing plants, and garages that handle any fuel or oily-based products.

Fire Resistance –  For welders, fire resistance is critical due to hot sparks, liquids and other substances that fall on the floor. All our mats with fire resistance have all passed a Flame Retardancy Certificate - a series of tests conducted by a third-party invigilator testing how well a sample of the mat performs in hot and flammable environments.

Types of Industrial Workshop Mats

Anti-slip Workshop Mats

Slip resistance is not only the main feature for some mats but also a mandatory requirement for professionals dealing with oil and fuel-based products throughout their work.  

Anti-slip Workshop Rubber Mats will usually include weighted bevels and air-tight backing optimized for smooth floor surfaces such as concrete, wood, and metal. 

Anti-fatigue Workshop Mats

Anti-Fatigue Mats reduce the symptoms of fatigue caused by standing for long periods of time. Studies have proven that using Anti-Fatigue Mats in the workplace will make employees more comfortable, increase productivity, reduce work-related injuries, boost morale, and are very popular within production plants, factories, and distribution centers.  

Workbench Cutting Mats

Self-Healing Cutting Mats are ideal for protecting workbenches in workshops. The Heavy-Duty Workbench Cutting Mats are recommended for use in workshops, although there are many types available.

Electrical Safety Rubber Matting

Electrical safety matting, sometimes referred to as an insulated floor covering helps protect individuals working on electrical installations from the dangers of electric shock, and has to comply with BS EN 61111:2009 which replaced the previous standard, BS 921: 1976. Electrical Safety Matting is a vital part of electrical safety and is typically used for protection around areas where high voltage (HV) equipment – such as a switchboard - is being used and worked upon, but it is also available for working on low and medium voltage (LV and MV) equipment. Typical applications include when working in front of switchboards, machine control gear, in plant rooms and lift control gear rooms, and also as portable protection for site engineers working on live equipment. As part of a firm’s risk assessment, if there is any potential risk of shock, then electrical safety matting is recommended in the HSE's Safe Working Practices for Electricity at Work document, HSG85, where it references BS
